ThoughtWorks takes lead in organizing first 'RubyConf India' -- Supported by Ruby Central, the first formal gathering of the Ruby Community in India takes place in Bangalore -- Bangalore, India - 22nd February, 2010 - The Ruby Community in India is excited to announce 'RubyConf India 2010' on Mar 20th and 21st at the Royal Orchid Hotel in Bangalore. Spread over 2 days, 'RubyConf India 2010' will offer Ruby enthusiasts an opportunity to network with key people in the international Ruby community, learn about the latest technology changes first-hand and deepen their expertise in the field. It will feature keynote addresses and talks by the likes of Yukihiro Matz Matsumoto (the creator of Ruby himself will speak via a video call), Chad Fowler (author of The Passionate Programmer), Obie Fernandez (pioneering Rails developers and author of The Rails Way), Ola Bini (core committer on JRuby since 2004) and Nick Sieger of Engine Yard and JRuby fame. Taking the lead in organizing and sponsoring this event is ThoughtWorks Technologies, a leading global IT consultancy specializing in Global Distributed Agile delivery. Co-sponsored by Castle Rock Research Corporation, Mahaswami Software and US based Hashrocket, this first of its kind conference will draw active participation and sponsorship from the Ruby ecosystem in India and is made possible by a grant from Ruby Central Inc - a non-profit organization in the USdedicated to the support and advocacy of the Ruby programming language across the globe. An emerging technology that promises to revolutionize the way software is developed, Ruby is an open source, dynamic programming language that runs natively on Linux, Windows and Mac OS. It runs on the Java and .Net platforms as JRuby and IronRuby respectively. It offers an ideal development environment for Agile practitioners with one of the most active open source communities worldwide which produce and support tools and projects like Ruby on Rails - a powerful web application development framework that significantly reduces time-to-market and is used by top web companies like Twitter and Shopify. Chad Fowler, Co-Director of Ruby Central, Ruby enthusiast and author of books such as The Passionate Programmer and My Job went to India had this to say about the event - As a one-time expatriate living in Bangalore, Ruby and India are two of my greatest passions. It's wonderful to see Ruby and Rails spread into India. Adoption of leading edge agile technologies such as these is crucial to the continued success of India as an IT services provider and innovator. This event is a major step in spreading the productivity and joy of Rails development into the Indian IT industry. A strong supporter of open-source emerging technologies and a pioneer in the Agile method of global software delivery, ThoughtWorks has consistently participated in Ruby conferences and other related events across the globe. This year it instituted the Innovation Technology Trust, a public non-profit with the objective of providing a support system and networking between professionals in the field of emerging technologies and open-source by bringing them together during workshops, seminars, conferences. Ruby Central has been hosting International Ruby Conferences around the world since 2002 and more recently instituted a Regional Grants Program to support conferences at a regional level. These two institutions have now come together to host the first RubyConf India in 2010 which will feature distinguished practitioners and thought leaders from the global Ruby Community and cater to the needs of the growing and talented Ruby community in India. Explaining the rationale for ThoughtWorks organising 'RubyConf India 2010', Mahesh Baxi Managing Director ThoughtWorks India said Open Source software is here to stay and ThoughtWorks has been an active contributor, supporter and user of Open Source software like Java, Ruby JRuby. RubyConf India 2010 was sold out within the first 5 days of opening registrations! Says spokesperson for the event Sidu Ponnappa, The fact that RubyConf India was sold out in just five days is a strong indicator of the change that is occurring in the Indian software industry. We're seeing the beginnings of a shift from conservative, bread and butter development that we've been doing for the last two decades to the more exciting and challenging world of high-end engineering that has traditionally been considered the preserve of the first-world. The organizers have increased capacity since then to allow more enthusiasts to make the most of this opportunity. Keep an eye out for more information and updates at www.rubyconfindia.org !
