Practical, living guides for starting and running Ruby communities — from the first meetup announcement to sustainable conferences.
This repository powers guides.rubyevents.org, a companion project to RubyEvents.org. Our goal is to lower the activation energy for people who want to organize Ruby events by sharing what experienced organizers have learned.
- Meetup guide — starting, running, and sustaining a local Ruby meetup.
- Conference guide — practical guidance for organizing Ruby conferences.
- Organizer interviews — our conversations with community organizers.
This project is open source, and contributions are welcome. Useful contributions include fixing content and code contributions.
