Here in thoughtbot Stockholm we have our hand in some of the local meetups.
We've used the summer to revamp them and we are about to start the autumn off
with a bang!

## Stockholm Startup Meetup

With help from [ShapeUp Club](http://www.shapeupclub.com/) and
[Tictail](https://tictail.com/), the
[Innovators](http://www.meetup.com/Sthlm-Startups/) series of events have proven
to be a fun way to hobnob with the rest of the local startup community.

At this meetup we learn who is working on awesome stuff, followed by a chance to
talk with them about it in detail. This has ranged from [Web-based DJ
tools](https://revibe.fm/) to [3D modeling](http://www.volumental.com/) to [big
data analysis](http://www.augify.com/).

[The next Innovators
meetup](http://www.meetup.com/Sthlm-Startups/events/133516302/) is 27 August at
[the thoughtbot
office](https://maps.google.se/maps?q=Sveavagen+98+5+tr+Stockholm+Sweden) ([The
Park](http://thepark.se/)) near Rådmansgatan.

## Vim

We use Vim, as you know. [A lot](https://thoughtbot.com/upcase/vim). [The monthly Vim
meetup](http://www.meetup.com/Stockholm-Vim/) is an invaluable way to learn
what's going on with the tool that you face all day. From discussions about the
Vim Web site to plugin management to macros to Vim golf, it's a fun place for
both experts and novices alike.

Join [the Meetup group](http://www.meetup.com/Stockholm-Vim/) to find out about
the September Vim meetup.

## Ruby hack night

Less talk, more rock!

Every month, [fourth Monday of the month](http://www.meetup.com/SHRUGse/), from
18:30 to 21:00, at the thoughtbot office.  Bring a laptop, bring an idea, bring
a friend, bring a new developer, bring a Ruby expert, or just bring your
enthusiasm, and [we'll see you
there](http://www.meetup.com/SHRUGse/events/101941552/).
