Berlin.rb is a new monthly meetup for people who write Ruby, or are curious about it. A few of us from Berlin’s Ruby community are organizing talks, project show-and-tells, and time to meet other people who work in the same language. It’s free and open to anyone, whether you’ve been writing Ruby for fifteen years or installed it last week.
The first one is Tuesday, September 8, 18:45, at Potsdamer Straße 121. Use the Grover entrance next to Rossmann and head to the third floor. The evening is hosted and sponsored by ablefy, with drinks and snacks provided. After that, the second Tuesday of every month.
Register here. If you can’t make it to Berlin, there’s a livestream and it’ll be on YouTube afterwards.
The first meetup
I’m giving the first talk anywhere on RubyLLM 2.0: RubyLLM 2.0: Beyond Agents.
Paweł Strzałkowski, CTO at Visuality, is giving the second: HiFuMi: The Story of Building an Online Rails Apps Generator.
Why another one
Berlin already has RUG::B, a long-running Ruby user group. Berlin is big enough for both, and more Ruby events are a good thing.
Berlin.rb adds a predictable rhythm: second Tuesday, every month. Put it in your calendar once and stop checking.
Bigger than Berlin
We don’t want this to be just a room in Berlin.
-
We’re livestreaming the meetup and publishing the talks on YouTube afterwards, so joining Berlin.rb doesn’t require being in Berlin.
-
Berlin.rb is part of Ruby Europe, the umbrella bringing together Ruby communities across the continent and moving speakers between cities.
Come talk
We want speakers! A deep technical talk, a lightning talk about something you built last weekend, a story about something that went badly in production. If you’ve never given a talk before, this is a good place for the first one.
Send a sentence or two to hello@berlinrb.org and we’ll take it from there.
Host or sponsor us
We want to move around the city. Different neighbourhoods, different offices, so it’s easy to reach wherever you happen to live, and so you get to see where other Berlin Ruby teams actually work.
If your company has a space free on a weekday evening, or wants to cover food and drinks, we’d love to hear from you. Sponsorship is what keeps this free and open to everyone, and hosting is the easiest way to put your team in front of Berlin’s Ruby community.
The people
Berlin.rb is put together by a group of us from around Berlin’s Ruby community. The current organizers are listed on berlinrb.org.
