The Ruby community lives by fun, whimsy & nonsense.
@tenderlove and
KeepRubyWeird, we love you!
But how can we bring this to a meetup? I'd love to see:
Different forms
I'd love to see talks at ParisRB, meetups or conferences in various forms. Slides, opinion, dialogue, live-coding are great, but how about talks:
- as a song
- (hat tip Jim Weirich)
- as a theater play
- please come back, Martin van Aken!
- hand drawn
- I wanted Master to Student to be one
Slidedeck karaoke
You present someone else's slides that you discover on the spot. I actually have some decks ready for this! Feel free to use them.
Stealing talks
I want to steal at least two talks:
- Mastering Arel, by Dan Schultz
- because many people I meet need more of this
- The Optimism series by Reginald Braithwaite
- Learned Optimism by Martin Seligman - animated book review
- Optimism
- Optimism II
