Rails Day 2006
Posted by marcel May 20, 2006 @ 10:28 PM
Last June was the first Rails Day, where teams of two or three competed to build the best all around Rails app in a 24 hour period.
Well they’re doing it again this year: Rails Day 2006 will be held on June 17th, just a few days before the first official Rails Conference.
Last year’s contest had dozens of dozens of teams and almost as many prizes, including some pretty sweet ones for the teams that won top honors.
This year’s organizers are looking for your help on fine tuning the rules. So weigh in with your opinions if you have any.
Registration isn’t quite open yet. So rally the troops and stay tuned.
This will surely be interesting. But I can never understand how they’d really verify if the app was developed within 24 hours. One can start making an app right now and do 20 commits in those 24 hours !
Can someone explain ?
Omg this idea is awesome… i dont feel strong enought in rails to compete but am sure gonna follow the event.
There’s no real way to verify that people play by the rules. But hey, we’re the ruby community right? Matz is nice, and so are we ;)
