Another experiment: No Rails at Railsberry 2013?
- cientifico 14y agoI think part of the rails philosophy is to use the correct tool for the problem you want to solve. If you want a blog, probably wordpress is the best option.
- elamadej 14y agoHa! We had that discussion last year ;) Yes, it's php. Yes, it could be better. But we chose it and it does the job. It's a blog in the end ;)
- elamadej 14y agoOuch, right. Currently it doesn't do the job ;)
- zalew 14y agoI though it should be the default philosophy of everyone.
- gnufied 14y agoDunno, but a static generator like Nanoc & Jekyll works much better than Wordpress for me. PS: I see the sarcasm though. :-)
- bilalq 14y agoError establishing a database connection. Bad timing?
- elamadej 14y agoapparently ;) working on it!
- macarthy12 14y ago> Error establishing a database connection
- elamadej 14y agoThanks! We're working on it ;)
- elamadej 14y agoApparently the traffic killed us. GOOD PROBLEM :) Fixing it!

- taybenlor 14y agoThat actually sounds kind of awesome. It's easy to get sick of the same Rails news over and over. Plus Ruby has such a vibrant and exciting world beyond Rails.
- elamadej 14y agoWell said.
- Argorak 14y agoIts not like there are no european Ruby conferences that include many topics beyond Rails and even Ruby. E.g. wroclove.rb, eurucamp and even EuRuKo. So, I don't see the big news here. Calling a conference "Railsxxx" and then not doing any Rails sounds weird to me.
- zgryw 14y agoRuberry? Rberry? NoRailsBerry? ;)
- elamadej 14y agoYeah, "big news" is relative. Maybe it's no big news, it's cool, too! We just wanted to share what our focus is going to be. People seem to react well (=> twitter). Why Railsberry? => it's still for Rails devs by Rails devs. And we love our name :D
- Argorak 14y agoOh, I don't want to criticize too much. I am just quite surprised the only all-out community Rails conference in Europe is suddenly non-Rails at all. In any case, you are doing great work and I am sure that Railsberry will be a success again!
- elamadej 14y agoThanks! Stay tuned for what's on the menu, we're sure as the programme unrolls, it will answer some doubts ;). That's actually a plan we came up with with Rails core team guys and hopefully Rails community can benefit A LOT from this open-minded approach!
- amirf 14y agoGreat idea. This would be a good opportunity to experience and experiment in other technologies that don't get much spotlight. Will definitely try to get there this year!
- elamadej 14y agoThanks, we thought so!
