Hi all!
I’d like to tell few words about the conference which took place on the 5-6th of November and was named “RubyC” (rubyc.eu is the official site of the meeting) and I’ve been there as a listener.
Some features were very interesting for me. One of them was how to make rails application work faster by Alexander Dymo. The main aim of this report was Garbage Collector (GC) in ruby. In general he told us about GC default values that build in ruby interpreter one of them value that call CG for each 8Mb. He proposed to pick up this value.
One more thing, that I has been interesting in, is creating of gems and posts from Pat Allan, which helps to make applications more clear and structured.
There were some more discussions around Dmitriy Kostyuk’s report from HostPro CTO about cloud hosting for rails in Ukraine. I used this hosting 1 years ago and it was horrible I don’t know if something has changed since that time, but I hope so.
Currently Ruby on Rails programmers prefer more Linod and Amazon.
Also Roman Babenko from our company was a speaker and told about Continuous Integration (CI) in Ruby.
I’ was really a pleasure for me to visit this conference and I’m waiting for new meetings in the future.
Best regards,
Evgenii.S.Semenchuk

On the last weekend Dnepropetrovsk hosted a conference Rubyshift, dedicated to Ruby. Part of our team also visited it.
The event turned out great! There were a lot of rubists not only from our country but also from Germany, USA, etc. Speakers presented interesting reports, which were peppered with good discussions during the breaks.
Special thanks to the organizators - everything was just fine, including a party at the end of the day(Puzata Hata cafe) and warm atmosphere during all event.
In addition to this we are happy just because of the fact that conference happened, as it is then following by RubyC, which means that the community in Ukraine is growing and more and more people are coming to the conferences and it is really good! We sincerely wish to continue!

It appears that Gera-IT has already a well-established tradition, traveling and working in August with the team in the Carpathians Mountains.
As result for the second year a group of people was living and working in a beautiful eco cottage in mountains. Hotel was selected primary by quality of internet connection
The regular day activity was including morning Yoga hour on the grass, cycling and working around in the forest, late night guitar performances with songs (thanks to Roman, Yakov, Dmitry), meditation at starts on the night sky. And of course a little bit of programming
Everybody enjoyed a lot these 2 weeks and we returned back to city full of natural energy
We think that we can call such type of work with new term “Mountain IT team building “

There was interesting format selected for last Barcamp. Kinda free discussion between rails specialists. During first conversation there were a lot information about large projects planning and implementation. It was interesting to listen Roman Babenko’s sentences about work organization. Second part under Stan Pogrebnyak’s moderation was even more interesting because discussion was based on real high-loaded project and Stan’s own experience. Also there was a lot of useful information received from public replica.
