Announcing Winners of Free Tickets for Intro to Ruby Course

November 30th, 2010 by Yair Flicker

Almost a month ago we made two exciting announcements – the first was that SmartLogic will be hosting an Intro to Ruby1 course on December 10-11, 2010. The second announcement was that we would be giving away one free ticket to a local college/university student and another free ticket away to the co/founder of a local startup company.

Well, we upped the ante and have decided to give away a total of FOUR free tickets. We received a total of 40 submissions and were really encouraged by all of the enthusiastic responses. Without further ado:

BohConf 2010: A Retrospective

June 22nd, 2010 by John Trupiano

BohConf 2010

After an exhilarating week of hosting the Rails community in Baltimore for RailsConf, I thought it’d be helpful to share the lessons that we learned organizing BohConf.

Community Code Drives Rock!

We had a strong showing of open source authors including Wayne Seguin, Gregory Brown, Aslak Hellesøy, Chris Eppstein, Nick Gauthier and various members of Thoughtbot crew. Wayne (rvm) and Greg (prawn) in particular raved about the contributions they were able to make to their projects. Hey, I even got a new release of Timecop out thanks to a patch from Larry Marburger. Other well known OSS authors that dropped by included Rick Olson, Patrick Peak, and Josh Nichols. If you were there and we missed you, please drop us a line in the comments!
