We @ Wroc_❤.rb and we ❤ Vention Dention
We’re proud to announce wroc_love.rb 2012. The very first of such conferences in a beautiful city of Wrocław. What is this conference about?
A fresh Ruby conference organized by thriving local Ruby community. We’re keen on experimenting, value original ideas and diversity of opinions – as long as they’re backed with valid arguments.
You can meet : Georg, Bumi, Mike, Ralph, myself and our friend Nick.
We’re giving a talk
What is our talk about? About.. “Pit .. Brad Pit..Pit’s..ahhr! Just get out of the trap!!!” In our talk we will share some of the most interesting, absurd, or funny moments and insights we have experienced in past couple of years. As developers and business founders, we present the best of our own mistakes and show you how we got out of the pits we fell into. Believe us, we’ve been there as well and, hopefully, attending our talk will help you not make our mistakes. ;) It will be a serious fun! The talk will cover both technical and other subjects. Each mistake will get a 2-3 min coverage. Read more about us and our talk at the conference page and on their blog.
We love punk rock

DRUG #25
During my leave in beautiful Wrocław, I had a chance to attend DRUG #25 meet-up. DRUG (Dolnośląska Grupa Użytkowników Ruby) is Lower Silesian Ruby user group, and their meetings usually take place once a month.
Andrzej Krzywda introduced me to a non-written rule of DRUG, which states “[i]f it’s your first time then you are presenting a talk”. I presented a quick talk about Travis CI. While it came as no surprise, that everybody knew the topic, it was especially nice to see people asking more detailed questions about current state, the future and sharing what they have done with Travis.
The people I met are tremendous and I will be happy to see them again on Wroclove.rb! Big thanks to all attending and especially to @kolarzowski, @piterniel for having me at their office during my leave. See you all soon!
Railslove at war
Today, January 11th, 2012 – a date which will live in infamy – Railslove was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the dark forces of 9elements.
Railslove was at peace with that nation and looking toward the maintenance of peace. In a brutal attack 9elements took one of the Railslove team members as hostage while being on a friendly mission visiting their headquarters.
It will be recorded that the visit of the Railslove member took place on solicitation of 9elements – it is obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago.
Because of this circumstances we are forced to protect ourselves and have to free our team member.
I ask that Railslove declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by 9elements on January 11th, 2012, a state of war has existed between Railslove and 9elements.
Let Paintball Borken be our battleground for this gigantomachia!
proof:
a very Merry Christmas
We wish you all a wonderful christmas time!
