h1. The RailsBridge Mission:

To create an inclusive and friendly Ruby on Rails community.

h2. The RailsBridge Guidelines:

* First, do no harm. Then, help where you can.

* Bridge the gap from aspiring developer to contributing community member, through mentoring, teaching, and writing.

* Reach out to individuals and groups who are underrepresented in the community.

* Collaborate with other groups with similar goals.

Ways to help out your fellow Bridgers.

* [[VirtualLaunchLunch]] Releasing a product?  Want to swap stories, share advice, commiserate, congratulate, etc, this is for you.

h2. Get informed

Let people know what's been going on by summaries to the mailing list, because it's hard to keep track of as this grows bigger and bigger.
