Boston Ruby Group

Too many Rails developers incorrectly use and abuse the lib/ directory. I will demonstrate the importance of maintaing conventions in the lib/ directory that conform to what Rubygems is expecting, some "gotchas" if you are not careful, and a pattern I have been using to extract non-application specific code into the lib/ directory as a jumping off point to then eventually extracting that code as a Rubygem

Intended for developers new or veteran, who would like to contribute to open source but aren't sure how to start. Luke will talk about a few of the basic obstacles (in your head) to getting involved and how to deal with them, as well as the basic mechanics of pull requests and code reviews using Github. At the end of this talk you'll be ready to make the first commit, which is always the hardest.
