What will you be working on?

[Daniel Higginbotham]

Just curious to see what other folks have planned.

I'll probably just work on whoops some more, but I'm also interested
in exploring ways to integrate ascii doc in ruby projects (for
example, by making a small server that could generate and host the
docs).

[Brian Cardarella]

I've got a ton of catching up to do with my open source stuff, I've
also got some ideas for the BostonRB site.

I'm most likely going to go through Michael Hartl's "Learn Rails 3 by
example" book to hopefully fill in some of the gaps in my knowledge
about "the rails way" that cause me to continue to bang my head
against the wall.

But I have no shortage of other ideas and little rails apps that I
have limping along like my auto-build-failure-log-analyzer-blaming app
and my bug-report-consolidator-into-known-issues-history-tracker and
my request-perforce-integrations-and-execute-them-on-remote-machines
apps.

I'm a teacher and am trying to 'ship' a new website for my students by the first day of school, Aug 31. The website mostly works, but a lot of the views are still just scaffolds, so I have a bunch of view-writing and bug fixing to get through.

I'm also starting to think about generalizing this project to make an application that other teachers can and will want to use with their students. I'd like to hear some opinions about and perhaps experiment with some rails multi-tenant approaches before I get started.

As someone who is in the infant stages of learning Rails, I would like
to learn alongside a beginner. It would be great to reach the end of
the weekend with a solid understanding of Rails, I've been trying to
teach myself and it's not working out as well as I had hoped.

On a side note, I'll be bringing these books:

1. Beginning Rails 3 (Expert's Voice in Web Development)
2. Ruby on Rails 3: Learn Rails by Example
3. Head First Rails: a Learner's Companion to Ruby on Rails

I'm hoping to write a donations/contributions plugin for FatFreeCRM [1]
to make it more useful as a CRM for nonprofits.

I'll be working on adding features to happeningmap.com using facebooker2, paperclip and lots of JS/Google map API.

happeningmap is community building tool that helps you see what events/happenings, store specials of interest are going on in your area.

Looking forward to meeting everyone,

Ehsan

Mostly, I'm interested in pairing around with folks.  I might install http://octopress.org on something, or hack on https://github.com/schacon/git-scribe.

I'll also be building the most wise wizard staff.

Just a reminder, but there will be limited internets. Choosing to work on something that involves the interblarg (facebook, google maps, etc) may be problematic :) 

[Jason Morrison]

Excellent point, Josh.

I will make sure to switch my beer cans into offline mode before the drive up for maximum wizardry.

[Brice Stacey]

One workaround might be to use VCR (https://github.com/myronmarston/vcr) to record and playback http requests in your test suite. I believe the boston.rb site does this for its tests if you want an example.

Oh man, I forgot about wisest wizard! Totally in for a staff war!
Mostly working on a localized Greensboro NC.rb site, sitting down and
pairing with all the other new people. Fairly Ok (pronounced like
Malkovich in Rounders) in Ruby but would love to pair with some people
who can think much larger than me on the "web app" front. Also would
love to build something exceptionally minimal in RBX and Padrino or
Sinatra.

Not sure if this is even feasible, but there is this Rails push server
called Juggernaut (http://juggernaut.rubyforge.org/) which uses Flash.
Since incorporating Flash sucks, and Adobe can convert Flash to HTML5/
JS, I think it would be AWESOME to create a pure JavaScript/HTML5 push
server for Rails. Anyone interested?

[piper]

Luke I am with you and will be reading Ruby on Rails Tutorial. Goal -
to finish it by the weekend.

[Michael Tomer]

I'm hoping to present a realtime web application framework I've been
working on. I can almost hear people's eyes glazing over from here,
but I swear, this is really different from anything else out there. It
is aimed at building single page rich applications using Web Sockets
for nearly everything, and the focus is on pushing as much processing
to the client as you can securely get away with. So far it's extremely
fast and very nifty.

@adam: Have you considered EventSource? It's like Web Sockets, but it
has a pure JS fallback (resorts to polling). Unlike Web Sockets, it
uses HTTP for everything. Technically EventSource only pushes data
from the server to the client, as opposed to Web Sockets which are bi-
directional. That said, the client has always had the ability to
"push" to the server, so bi-directionality isn't really an issue.

For what it's worth, my framework doesn't use EventSource because it
doesn't align well with my goals, but I think it would probably
integrate into most apps more easily than Web Sockets.

Also, I strongly encourage you to check out http://pusher.com. It's a
Ruby based web service for Web Sockets (with support for a Flash
fallback), and I can personally assure you that the guys who run the
company are a really decent and honest bunch of people. We had an
issue with our account that caused us to fly way over the usage tier
we were in, and they helped us figure out what happened and didn't try
to strong-arm us into upgrading.
