Presentation Proposal

  • RubyGems for Library Authors
    Submitted by: jtrupiano
    3 people liked this proposal.

    The focus of this talk is about developing interoperable code bases that will be used by the community. I will introduce workflows and other considerations necessary for building and maintaining community-friendly open source ruby projects. It is intended for authors whose libraries/gems are used by 1 - 1,000 people. I will not be covering how to orchestrate and maintain very large projects like rails or apache. Also, to be clear, this is not a "how to become a Ruby rock star" talk.

    A sampling of the topics to be covered:

    • RubyGems internals
    • Interoperability concerns
    • Code organization / directory structure -- how and why
    • Planning the public interface (w/ the help of RDoc / YARD)
    • Release Management Strategies (including prereleases)
    • Regression testing with RVM
    • Bundler
    • Gemcutter
    • Community interaction (accepting patches / mailing lists / etc)
    • Monitoring community usage (via delicious, twitter, etc.)

    Just received some feedback from a local user group on a preliminary version of this talk and have adjusted the title and description.
