Hello fellow Rubyists,
the eurucamp team, along with the Ruby Berlin e.V. will run a series of Hackfests in Berlin this year. Each of these days will have a focus[1]. The first one will be "Improving JRuby".
JRuby is one of the most important projects and arguably most polished in the Ruby world, but notoriously low on committers, especially when it comes to JRuby-only libraries and documentation. This day tries to get experienced JRuby developers and beginners together in one room to give back to the JRuby team.
Please attend if you are:
- Willing to give back to one of the hardest working teams in the Ruby community, but never go around to
- Generally interested in hacking and showing what the Berlin Ruby community is capable of
- Experienced with JRuby and able to assist newbies to pick up JRuby-specific topics
- A gem author that struggles with incompatibilty issues
- bitten by JRuby from time to time
The details of the first hackday are:
Co-up Coworking Space (3rd Floor)
Adalbertstraße 7-8
Exact times will be posted on the event page next week.
