[rails-oceania] Re: Melbourne Ruby Group meeting tonight?
The Auckland web meetup has been using meetup.com for several years and it seems to work pretty well. If there are caps on numbers (eg, there's only enough beer / food / space for 200) the RSVP system is useful.

[rails-oceania] Re: Action/Active naming convention
From what I can recall from the RailsConf 2008 core group panel, the rationale is something along the lines that Active is given to a component/gem that can be used standalone and Action is given to component/gem which is dependent on other components. Though it doesn't quite work since ActiveRecord needs ActiveSupport. But most of the Action stuff is in ActionPack and can't be used standalone as such. ActionMailer depends on ActionController so that still holds. But its a loose convention that is getting muddier and they said they won't be holding on to it religiously. Adam On Oct 29, 9:02 am, Chris Lloyd christopher.ll...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, This has been bugging me for a while: why is there a difference in the Action/Active naming convention that Rails uses? Why is there ActiveRecord and ActionController? Why not ActionRecord or ActiveController? Neither Action or Active are particularly descriptive. I tried Googling but nothing came up so perhaps somebody closer to DHH can chip in an answer? Cheers!

[rails-oceania] Re: Ruby in Australia...
In discussions in the #roro IRC channel yesterday, that's what I was wondering too - do we need a conference when we have rails camps already? There's value in both - and if a conference was done really well (see futureruby/rubyfringe as an example), then it could well be worth looking into. It's also worth noting that not everyone wants to come to rails camp - on one level, that's fine, we can't please everyone, but it's also worth listening to these differing opinions, see how perhaps we can improve rails camps.
