RailsCamp Tech Roundup?

[don buchanan]

Hi guys, I had a wonderful first rails camp but I'm trying to remember
everything that was presented. Could we get a list going of all the
good stuff?

I can remember some stuff, but everythings a bit hazy, I'll start with
the code quality tools I remember

- roodi
- reek
- flay
- flog

[Brenton Fletcher]

I remember a presentation on Macruby, there was the intro to testing, and also pancake the rack thingy; also the intro to shells.

I presented on vid encoding for the iPhone (the script for that is at http://github.com/bloopletech/scripts), gistory and webstats.

Big ups to Ben, John, and Pat for herding us cats for the weekend, and to Tim, Myles, and Pat for refactoring my code for me; even to 2AM :).

Thanks for remembering Don :) I also demo'd codeyak, which runs them
all automatically across all of your history in Git and shows you
trends. It's at http://www.codeyak.com/, and almost ready for prime
time. Public release is imminent - probably this week. Watch
@codeyak on twitter for announcements.

I took some very brief notes of talks that happened. Missing from
these lists are:

How to be good at rails
Warden - Rack auth
Scrum
Kanban
Introduction to vim
Stuff on shells. Tempted me to convert to fish, but need to find time
to replace all my zsh/bash files.

Hi all,

FYI - Codeyak went live yesterday. I'd love some feedback if you get a
chance to play with it.

In the footer, it should be "damn excited" </nitpick>

I mistakenly sent mine to support then realised there's a feedback link right next to it: http://skitch.com/ryanbigg/nj6bq/feedback

[Bodaniel Jeanes]

My project was 4th in the queue, then 11th... It's going the wrong way :S

Oops just realised that says "darn" and not "dam". 

[Marty Andrews]

Feedback link in the footer is best, but email to me, tweet to
@codeyak or to @martinjandrews is all fine. We'll be watching.

Hehe. It's queueing the processing of each revision in history. One revision was fourth, then got processed so the next one starts at the back of the queue. It's how we share the processing across projects. 

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to make the message clearer.
