        <h2>What is Ruby?</h2>
        <p>
          Ruby is a dynamic, general purpose, open source programming language
          with a focus on simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax
          that is natural to read and easy to write.
        </p>

        <p>
          It is a highly object oriented language designed to be "more powerful
          than Perl, and more object-oriented than Python" and draws inspiration
          from languages like Lisp and Smalltalk.

        <p>
          Wether you're a seasoned Ruby hacker or have never written a single
          line of Ruby code, you're welcome at our meetings. All we require is
          an interest in Ruby, and preferably a willingness to join the
          discussions or perhaps even present a topic.
        </p>

        <p>
          Our main language is Danish, but if you ask nicely most people are
          willing to switch to English. Don't let language barriers stop you
          from attending.
