Subject: Ruby Install Fest
Some mention was made at the last meeting of a night to help newcomers
to Ruby get an environment setup so they can start hacking around.
This is an excellent idea I think we should get moving on. I think
some night in the next couple weeks might be good for this, that way
everyone who wants it can have Ruby setup by the next meeting. Would
any of the more experienced members be willing to volunteer to help
with this?

I'm thinking we would need about two hours, hopefully we can use
LeanDog's office. Anyone who needs help getting Ruby, Rails, or any
gems installed can bring their machines and we'll help them setup and
get started.

Everyone, please let me know your interest. I think Monday 3/16 would
work best as it's a week before the next meeting. Does that work for
everyone?

- Joe

I'd definitely show up, although there are probably others with more
experience installing Ruby (I've always just used the version that
came installed on my Mac).

I think it's a good idea. Count me in.
With kind regards

We should clarify what "installed" means.  Based on what I've seen in
the group, I think most newbies (including myself) would be pleased to
be able to:

1) Write a hello world non-rails application using rspec
2) Write a hello world rails application using rspec
3) Optionally have autotest installed and configured (with growl/
snarl) for both rails and non-rails programs

To make better use of the time, people should come to the group with
certain prerequisites already installed (mysql?, anything else?  Is
this necessary?)

And lastly, I think it would be good to have leaders identified
beforehand for the Mac and Windows crowds.  This last point may only
be necessary if there's a healthy number of people in each camp -
there are some differences installing some of this stuff between the
two OSs.  For me, being a lowly Windows user, I would appreciate it if
there were other Windows people I could go to for help - people who
wouldn't start off their responses with "If you had a Mac..."  ;-)

Great suggestions! I'm going to go ahead and schedule this tomorrow  
for next Monday using the below points.

I've done some Ruby on Windows, but it's been awhile. Do we have  
anyone who knows ruby on windows who can come?

Thanks!
Joe

I've setup ruby on windows using the one click installer. It was rock  
solid and didn't have any issues. Never tried running rails on that  
setup, though.

Agreed, the one-click installer is a must-have for Windows. My concern is
more in getting Rails up and running.

Of course depending on what IDE is selected, Windows setup can vary
wildly.

Hi,

I am new to this group and I was wondering if any of you know how to
setup
RedMine which is a tool written in R.O.R.
I currently have it setup using the BitNami installer on Ubuntu Server
Edition
and I am hoping to move away from that so I can get comfortable with
Linux
and also learn how to setup Subversion with correct permissions.

Would this be out of scope for this meeting?

Thanks,

iLya

IDE? What's that? :P

Most IDEs I've used have been pretty self-contained. I've always been
able to install the one-click installer. Using script/server could
make things easier on windows, since you wouldn't have to setup apache
or (gasp) FastCGI/Rails for IIS.

Hey Ilya,

Come on by and we can at least help you get Ruby and Rails setup in an
Ubuntu VM. Depending on the size of the crowd we may/may not be able
to help you with RedMine. We'll have to see. As for svn, I'm sure
someone can help you set it up, but I have to ask if you've looked at
Git at all. Git is the pretty much the industry standard for source
control in the Rails community and is supported by RedMine. I can show
it to you if you are interested on Monday.

Joe,

That sounds great. I am planning on coming for the Install Fest.
I did get a VM setup with Ubuntu and have been playing around with
creating some sample applications.
I did not look at setting up Git as a source control system because I
am not familiar with it and how it works
especially coming from a Windows world I am soo used to UI based
source control systems but I am definitely
open to any better ways to manage my projects.

Thanks,

iLya

Believe me, iLya, git is like Doritos(tm).  Betcha' can't use it on just one
project.

I'll be there.  I have a little experience with getting rails up and
going now.  I would definitely like to try out some of these other
tools though!
