An amazing web development framework for Ruby

Another Ruby conference

The Ruby folks in Texas know how to please a soft-heart like me:

This is a non-profit conference. The organizers are not paid and any profits will be used
for future conferences.

Also, the financial books are open and we will be publishing payables and receivables.
The purpose of this is to help other conference planners and to assure attendees that their money is well spent.

Very impressive, and great. Messrs Jim Freeze and David Bluestein II and Damon Clinkscales – big up from the Oresund Ruby massive.

Also: The format of a “pre-conference conference”, where the attendance fee is a donation to a charity, is a neat pattern that more and more conferences follow.

Patch day for Rails, in Copenhagen

The inimitable Jakob tells all about the upcoming Rails patch night, so I won’t say more than “it is a great way of getting into Rails” (Rails, the Open Source project; and Rails, the codebase).

(I won’t be there, I have a family thing to travel to, but please fill my seat, you.)

Hm, I shoulda added this to Upcoming.org, too.

Speaking at RuPy conference in Poland

Hey! Even more Ruby crap.

They said yes. The RuPy conference (at Adam M University, in Poznan, Poland) wants me to run a RubyGems tutorial.

invited speaker

To make it a pleasant event, I’ve started thinking about how to make Win32 users comfortable. Anyone of my readers using Ruby on Windows?

What I want my co-tutorialists (tutees?) to have: MinGW installed and working. To get that in place, I’ll be trying to work on that here on the blog, writing instructions as I go along.

Are you able to compile Ruby C extensions on your Windows machine? Please make a comment, or send me an email. (olle at the insane domain “olleolleolle daaaaaht dk”.)
