Maybe moving to Sydney is something I should look into, theres the occasional meetup (ruby, node communities (in a library :P)) but that's all there seems to be. Brisbane is rather dull in many ways.
Funny you should ask this today, I just sent out a notification for YBITS, the Young Brisbane IT Social.
The idea is to get a group of like-minded young (of mind) IT professionals together in a 'networking' format that doesn't feel douchy.
It's part of my cunning master-plan to give Brisbane a bit more of a startup scene, but most of the attendees are still un-aware:P
I think it'd be a great venue to kick something like that off, do you want to work together on something? YBITS is here: https://groups.google.com/group/YBITS/browse_thread/thread/4... (That's the link to our march meeting) and you can contact me via my details here.
