Hi everyone, I'm Chris Wanstrath.

When Jeremy asked me to come talk, I said yes.  Hell yes.  Immediately.  But
then I took a few moments and thought, Wait, why?  Why me?  What am I supposed
to say that's interesting?  Something about Ruby, perhaps.  Maybe the
future of it.  The future of something, at least.  That sounds
keynote-y.

# 1) Point *.example.com in your DNS setup to your server.

# 2) Setup an Apache vhost to catch the star pointer:

# <VirtualHost *:80>
#   ServerName example.com
#   ServerAlias *.example.com
# </VirtualHost>
#
# 3) Set the current account from the subdomain

You should never do this in a source file included with your library,
app, or tests:

    require 'rubygems'

The system I use to manage my $LOAD_PATH is not your library/app/tests

# Replaces spaces in filenames with underscores and converts filenames to lowercase
# Run within a directory to convert all files

ls | while read -r FILE
do
    mv -v "$FILE" `echo $FILE | tr ' ' '_' | tr -d '[{}(),\!]' | tr -d "\'" | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | sed 's/_-_/_/g'`
done

Hi everyone, I'm Chris Wanstrath, and I'm one of the co-founders of GitHub.

GitHub, if you haven't heard of it, has been described as "Facebook for developers." Which is great when talking about GitHub as a website, but not so great when describing GitHub as a business. In fact, I think we're the polar opposite of Facebook as a business: we're small, never took investment, and actually make money. Some have even called us successful.

Which I've always wondered about. Success is very vague, right? Probably even relative. How do you define it?

After thinking for a while I came up with two criteria. The first is profitability. We employ four people full time, one person part time, have thousands of paying customers, and are still growing. In fact, our rate of growth is increasing - which means January was our best month so far, and February is looking pretty damn good.
