Bangalore: RubyConf India 2010, the first RubyConf held in India took place on March 20th and 21st at The Royal Orchid Hotel, Bangalore. The event was supported by Ruby Centtral.
ThoughtWork Technologies were the organizers of the two day event. Representatives from around 119 companies from 29 cities across the globe took part in the event which featured 25 speakers.
Ola Bini (core committer on JRuby since 2006), Obie Fernandez (pioneering Rails developer and author of "The Rails Way") and Brendan G. Lim (Director of Mobile Solutions at Intridea) and Pradeep Elankumar were some of the speakers. The highlight of the two day programme was the video call in which Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto, the creator of Ruby, addressed the Ruby community in India. During his interactive session, Matz shared insightful ideas on what the future has in store for the Ruby language, interspersed with witty anecdotes on how he came to create and name the language. He also mentioned the work on the long awaited Ruby 2.0 would start in August. Glassfish evangelist Arun Gupta's presentation on multiple web Ruby frameworks, and ThoughtWorker Sarah Taraporewalla's talk titled "The Taming of the View" generated a burst of activity on Twitter.
ThoughtWorks has participated in Ruby conferences and other related events. This year it instituted the Innovation & Technology Trust, a public non-profit with the objective of providing a support system and networking between professionals in the field of emerging technologies and open-source by bringing them together during workshops, seminars and conferences.
"The conference represents a great moment in the history of the software industry in India. It was a total joy to see India assemble its own high caliber developers - free from the economic dictates of powerful anti-productive software forces in the west. This is indeed a great moment for the software industry," said Roy Singham, founder of ThoughWorks.
"It was really great to see the interesting and innovative ideas coming out of India. I think it's a sign of great things to come for Ruby programmers and enthusiasts in this country. India is definitely the place to watch," said Sarah Taraporewalla, a senior consultant from ThoughtWorks London.
Vishwas Mudugal, CEO of Castle Rock Research India said, "The energy and passion for Ruby and Open Source software in India could be felt at the event. Not only did we get to interact with great Ruby aficionados, programmers and leaders from across the globe, but we also got to learn and share a lot about the current and upcoming trends, tools & innovations in Ruby."

1: This is Venkat from Mahaswami Software. Not
that we sponsored the conference to get you
to publicize us / interview us etc let alone
mention our name. We being a ruby enthusiast
/ coder for the past eight years and we want
to help bring the community together are the
main reasons that drove us to support this
conference.
We are very proud to be a indian company supporting a ruby conference in India. It does appear that your approach to writing this article is a bit odd / arbitrary since you haven't even given attempted to talk to people like Satish Talim / local user group leaders or me to get a pulse of what this conference is about.
