I 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.

Ha! 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 ;)

elamadej10• 14 years ago

Ouch, right. Currently it doesn't do the job ;)

I though it should be the default philosophy of everyone.

gnufied• 14 years ago

Dunno, but a static generator like Nanoc & Jekyll works much better than Wordpress for me.

PS: I see the sarcasm though. :-)

That 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.

elamadej10• 14 years ago

Well said.

Its 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.

Ruberry? Rberry? NoRailsBerry? ;)

elamadej10• 14 years ago

Yeah, "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

Great 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!

Thanks, we thought so!
