It is possible to get funding for travel arrangements, you can read more about the process here

https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/wiki/FundingRequest

I've never submitted a request, so can't say how likely it will be granted.

Hope ya'll are able to get something together for Paris, make sure to keep us on the list posted if you guys make any progress!

Hi Rubyists,

Since me and bkabrda are coming to FUDCon Paris, it would be nice opportunity to meet you, other Rubyists, and discuss some topics and future directions of Ruby in Fedora. Please let us know who would be interested to come and share your topics, which should be discussed. I can throw in several right now:

• JRuby and Rubinius in Fedora and their integration with RubyGems.
• Bundler?
• Rails 3(4) in Fedora.
• Redmine, Passenger?
• Parallel installation of several gem versions.
• gem2rpm improvements

Hi,

just a reminder, since FUDCon Paris is approaching. Any topic for discussion? Any Rubyist who will join us?

Hey not gonna be in attendance myself, but he's just a bunch of random ideas:

- packaging hackfest: getting the jruby 1.7 stuff bohuslav was discussing into a testable state, getting a group to package different popular rubygems that aren't in Fedora or committed to clearing out the rubygem package review queue in bugzilla, etc

- testing / reviewing hackfest: perhaps yum repos could be setup beforehand w/ the latest jruby, ruby 2.0, etc and people could try redmine, rails, aeolus/deltacloud, and other apps against them / filing bugs as appropriate

- better tooling: gem2rpm, the isitfedoraruby site, etc could be improved ; we could write more tools / improve the migration and user experience

- isitfedoraruby: particularily stands out for me :-) various ways to visualize the gem / rpm relationships, and link more data sources in (koji builds, bugzilla bugs, git & bodhi updates, etc), more plugins

- workshops: how to package a gem from rubygems, easiest way to start a rails project on fedora, how to consume fedora services from ruby (perhaps some nice ruby wrappers can be written around the Fedora REST and AMQP apis)

Perhaps accompanying all of this, we could coordinate a social media blitz, promoting the meetup via twitter, blog posts, and so on and so forth to try and gain some traction and grow interest. Just food for thought.
