I love the idea.

probably they were waiting for students to start coding to announce this

I love this one from same author:

"On the day they were going to kill him, Santiago Nasar got up at five-thirty in the morning to wait for the boat the bishop was coming on. He'd dreamed he was going through a grove of timber trees where a gentle drizzle was falling, and for an instant he was happy in his dream, but when he awoke he felt completely spattered with bird shit."

the rails team is waiting for a patch to do it

it's pretty hard to do something better with the current status of Rack

I guess host it in AWS is a benefit for the integration with other services hosted in Amazon like TravisCI (the most popular CI for open-source Ruby projects) and Heroku (the most popular hosting for Ruby projects)

Talk is cheap, show me the code ;)

you can not expect to have women as core committers immediately, first step is get more women involved in community and OSS.

I don't think the work that Python/Django people are doing to get more women involved in the community can be easily ignored.

what about the software that he creates? will you stop considering using Django in future projects?

You don't have idea about what is a "witch hunt" and using that metaphor to describe some tweets is very insensitive and softens the absolute horror of people killed in real witch hunting.

Do you know that witch hunt still being a thing in some countries of the world?: http://www.eltiempo.com/colombia/medellin/ARTICULO-WEB-NEW_N... (title translated: Woman accused of being a witch in a town in Antioquia was burned)

This is a witch hunt: a woman was accused of being witch and _burned alive_, do you think that is even comparable with the tweets of Jacob Kaplan Moss?

+1, adding some money to Shanley's account

several of her circle started Gittip accounts and they are cleaning house

459usd/week*52weeks/year = 23k/year - taxes = ~10k

They will be rich soon.

Found this nice Sinatra micro-clone thanks to the page:

agree padrino is pretty near to Rails, what's the criteria used to determine if a framework is minimalist or not?

No everyone likes that approach, some people prefers to save tokens in yaml files (see on github, you will find a dozen o plugins that do same thing)

Isn't a bug according to twitter employers:

"Many of you already have expressed your opinion regarding recent drama, and I'd like to ask that you please respect our wishes to let this issue rest, so that we can all focus on the road forward."

Sure, please don't talk about this anymore since it can harm to Joyent's reputation and business.

Sure, he voluntarily resigned after of being called an asshole and sexist by the project owner (Joyent), seems totally expected in my opinion.

Because of this incident (and Joyent response on it), Isaac Roth from StrongLoop and others are asking for a neutral home for project:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/nodejs/mqSf47HhmyY/Wl8Od9vb1...

Before of this incident each company (Joyent & StrongLoop) had two core members in the project, now StrongLoop have only one: Bert Belder

Joyent was clearly trying to harm the reputation of Ben and of his employeer StrongLoop

That was Joyent defending their control over to project, remember that Ben & StrongLoop were a menace for Joyent:

Right and the guy of the last comment of the issue is proposing also an solution for it:

https://github.com/soveran/cargo

It's just me or there are some (a lot of) tension between Joyent and StrongLoop about the management of the project?

Obviously Node.js isn't a community project, it's a Joyent project and this is a clear confirmation of it.

OH: "Stupid Rails team. Why can't you fix performance issues based on anonymous New Relic stats alone?"

Sure, paid by companies, they aren't asking for funds in kickstarter.

I remember you criticized on twitter this point of Node some time ago and the response of some leaders of Node community was like "Sorry, this isn't Erlang" and "Erlang is better but it's harder"

Use short names in cases like this:

Guido, John Resig, DHH and Pamela Fox

in a related note a friend of mine that's rails core member is interested in getting a job working full-time in rails, anyone want to hire him?
