I'm kind of in a similiar boat. I'm currently based in a small town outside of Seattle called Olympia, where there is really know tech/start-up scene. But I see the potential in this town to harbor start-ups and innovation.
Pretty much south of seattle, it's going to be hard for dev and entreprenuers alike to start-up.
So I started a small business that I work in with my free time, to help build a foundation for people to learn code, brainstorm ideas, and start businesses. I do free code classes via meetup, and I'm working on getting something weekly in motion, and hackathons.
And since I've started my group has been getting a lot of interest and support from the community and even the county.
I plan to keep at it, until there is a solid foundation for people interested.
I don't know the demographics of your town, but the concept I started might be something you could give a trial at.
And if it doesn't work out, or pick up interest. Then abandon ship and make your success story.
This is my first Nodejs app written in 11 hours using Sailsjs. Maybe some of you can find it useful, working on some new features like video reporting, thumbs ups and downs, and playlists.
Why is it that every time I see a .io domain, I'm not surprised there using the cliche twitter bootstrap. Other than the lack of originality in design, I think it's pretty useful. Although I would like to see some decent HTML5 documentation. It's not unusual for me to search several websites for HTML5 docs. Would be nice to have a 1 stop place for HTML5 and the related languages. Keep up the good work, great project!
