I have to agree, it's nice that Phoenix has a pretty active node community... though it feels like everyone is too busy working to hit a lot of the meetings... I'd love to catch a coffee and code meetup, but I work too far away, and am in the office for morning standups etc, around that time.

Just the same, always get ideas from the Phoenix/AZ node user group meetings... it's also nice to see when someone demos an idea you had... such as routing redux at the server via websockets.
