We are a group of primarily Pinellas County geeks who get together for lunch a few times a month. Some of us work from home, some work in small teams and others just really like to eat and socialize. Many of us are in the Ruby and iOS development community but we welcome and enjoy the company of all, even non developer geeks!

This is a group for other females interested in gaming. MMOs, RPGs, FPSes, PC, Console, Pen and Paper - whatever! It is not just limited to games, though - any with nerdy interests are welcome. I have decided to form this group because it feels like girl gamers are so few and far between that we should all get together and hang out. Meetings can consist of gaming, talking about stuff with like-minded girls, going out to bars, or special activities like museums, paintball, etc. We could also star …
