RubyConf Argentina 2012 - The Aftermath

For the second time in a row I had the outstanding opportunity to speak at RubyConf Argentina. This time I shared stage with people like Wynn Netherland, Nick Sutterer, Jano Gonzalez, Steve Klabnik, etc which is awesome. This talk is different from the other I gave, besides teaching I wanted to share a feeling, an ideal. This is the story of an amazing conference.

Speaker's day

Make the speaker feel comfortable it's an obligation for an organisation but it's also an incredible hard thing to do. Somehow the "Speaker's Day" the guys of the conference pull together was truly amazing. We spend a day together, playing football, drinking and having a meal. A really bonding experience for everyone.

The conference itself

Anyone can cover the conference so I will not make you lose time on a review of the talks, just make time to see the Flickr Pool and try to be there next time.

EuRuKo 2012 - The Aftermath

I had the great honour to go to EuRuKo one more time this time I was a speaker. It was an amazing experience, last year as a attendant and now being able to share my knowledge to all the people that year by year travel through Europe.

Being a geek I took a lot of pictures by I choose to use the one with the organisers as a main image for this post because that’s one of the key features of any event, especially EuRuKo.

For the ones that do not know EuRuKo it’s organised by local Ruby groups and it’s been like that since the beginning. It’s an incredible effort they make and this edition was no exception on a great conference.

I always wonder why birds stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the earth. Then I ask myself the same question.
