What? GIT + Rails Servers
Luke Sutton will kick things off by presenting on his experience with GIT. He’s using it for all of his personal projects, including contributing to a few other projects which also use it. Since a number of local Rubyists have lately shown a lot of interest in Git and/or other distributed version control systems, I think this will generate some good discussion.
A wikiapedia snippet… “I’m an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First Linux, now git.” (Linus Torvalds)
From the git home page: “Git is distributed version control system focused on speed, effectivity and real-world usability on large projects.” ...come along to see what all the fuss is about.
Next, Adam Davies will present a round-up of the current crop of rails servers.
The plan is to run through some of the various options that are now available – while Mongrel seems to have become the standard, a number of newer projects are cropping up. Thin and Ebb both leverage some core mongrel libraries and rack – a minimal interface between webservers supporting Ruby and Ruby frameworks. In addition, JRuby is now stable (1.0 and 1.1RC are out) and is another choice for deployments.
