7:10 p.m. The Ruby Community is Dead, Long Live Ruby Communities
by Gregory Brown
Lots of people come to Ruby or stick with it because of ‘the community’ but what does that mean? In this short talk, we’ll take a look at what the Ruby community has meant over time, what it means now, why it’s dead, and why that’s not a bad thing. Not quite as depressing as it sounds, this talk will focus on how specialized groups such as local Ruby communities, regional conferences, and individual projects have developed their own distinct culture while still being impacted by the Ruby community of old.
NOTE: Please come with questions, thoughts, and a cantankerous attitude. It will make this topic more interesting. -g
