The community is amazing. I've been to groups for other languages, but they aren't as hands on or useful as the Ruby meetings. The Ruby group in my area does monthly 'hack nights' where experienced rubyists pair up with noobs and implement a small project. That kind of interaction keeps me motivated and lets me pickup standard practices and tools much faster.
