Ruby-SIG meeting at FUDCon Paris 2012?

[Vít Ondruch]

Hi Rubyists,

Since me and bkabrda are coming to FUDCon Paris, it would be nice 
opportunity to meet you, other Rubyists, and discuss some topics and 
future directions of Ruby in Fedora. Please let us know who would be 
interested to come and share your topics, which should be discussed. I 
can throw in several right now:

* JRuby and Rubinius in Fedora and their integration with RubyGems.
* Bundler?
* Rails 3(4) in Fedora.
* Redmine, Passenger?
* Parallel installation of several gem versions.
* gem2rpm improvements

Vit

["Guillermo Gómez S."]

I would love to go, but have no monetary means to.

;)

It is possible to get funding for travel arrangements, you can read more
about the process here

https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/wiki/FundingRequest

I've never submitted a request, so can't say how likely it will be granted.

Hope ya'll are able to get something together for Paris, make sure to
keep us on the list posted if you guys make any progress!

Hi,

just a reminder, since FUDCon Paris is approaching. Any topic for 
discussion? Any Rubyist who will join us?

Hey not gonna be in attendance myself, but he's just a bunch of random
ideas:

- packaging hackfest: getting the jruby 1.7 stuff bohuslav was
discussing into a testable state, getting a group to package different
popular rubygems that aren't in Fedora or committed to clearing out the
rubygem package review queue in bugzilla, etc

- testing / reviewing hackfest: perhaps yum repos could be setup
beforehand w/ the latest jruby, ruby 2.0, etc and people could try
redmine, rails, aeolus/deltacloud, and other apps against them / filing
bugs as appropriate

- better tooling: gem2rpm, the isitfedoraruby site, etc could be
improved ; we could write more tools / improve the migration and user
experience

- isitfedoraruby: particularily stands out for me :-) various ways to
visualize the gem / rpm relationships, and link more data sources in
(koji builds, bugzilla bugs, git & bodhi updates, etc), more plugins

- workshops: how to package a gem from rubygems, easiest way to start a
rails project on fedora, how to consume fedora services from ruby
(perhaps some nice ruby wrappers can be written around the Fedora REST
and AMQP apis)

Perhaps accompanying all of this, we could coordinate a social media
blitz, promoting the meetup via twitter, blog posts, and so on and so
forth to try and gain some traction and grow interest. Just food for
thought.
