| Do you like ruby? Do you like doing good? Do you like hanging out with other rubyists? | |
| If you answered yes to all three of these questions you need to come out to Ruby for Good (rubyforgood.com), a 3-day all inclusive conference in the DC area being held July 31st through August 2nd. | |
| What will we be doing? | |
| We are going to be lending our hacking skills for "good" projects - places that need help but don't have the resources to pay for people with our skill set. Some of the organizatinos we've signed on to help this year are the Humane Society (we love fluffies), Growhaus (a non profit that supplies healthy food to low income families), Purple Door Coffee (an organization that provides jobs to homeless kids and teaches them real skills) and many others. to We are still accepting project suggestions, so if you volunteer for a local non-profit and see a need, please let us know. | |
| Is it all work? | |
| No! The evenings are going to be filled with fun, games and socializing. We'll definitely have a game (or two) of Artemis going, board games, computer games, and much general nerdery. | |
| What does all inclusive mean? | |
| It means you just need to bring yourself and any personal items you may need. We'll supply the beds, blankets, bedding and all the food and drinks. We realize that if you're coming from Portland you may need extra time to get a better deal on your flights so we've got the dorm space from Thursday-Monday and if you want to come even earlier or leave later to spend some time in DC just let us know and we'll try and find a local to host you! | |
| This sounds awesome, how do you sign up? | |
| Head to rubyforgood.com and sign up there. | |
| Happiness, | |

Do you like ruby? Do you like doing good? Do you like hanging out with other rubyists?
If you answered yes to all three of these questions we'd love for you to join us at Ruby for Good (rubyforgood.com), a 3-day all-inclusive annual conference in the DC-area being held July 31st through August 2nd.
What will we be doing?
We are going to be lending our hacking skills for "good" projects - places that need help but don't necessarily have the resources to pay for people with our skill set. Some of the organizations we'll be helping this year include the Humane Society (we love Fluffies), Growhaus (a non-profit that supplies healthy food to low income families), Purple Door Coffee (an organization that provides jobs to homeless kids and teaches them real skills) and many others. We are still accepting project suggestions, so if you volunteer for a local non-profit and see a need, please let us know.
Is it all work?
No! The evenings are going to be filled with fun, games and socializing. We'll definitely have a game (or two) of Artemis going, board games, computer games, and much general nerdery.
What does all-inclusive mean?
It means you just need to bring yourself and any personal items you may need. We'll supply the beds, blankets, bedding and all the food and drinks. We realize that if you're coming from Portland you may need extra time to get a better deal on your flights, so if you'd like to come a day early or stay a day late, we've reserved space for you! If you decide you want to come even earlier or leave later than a day, perhaps to spend some time in DC, just let us know and we'll try and find a local to host you!
This sounds awesome, how do you sign up?
