Dale Hawkins Denver (Littleton), Colorado, US I have written a couple utilities (a worklog/billing application), and I am working on porting a large, ugly php application used by government agents (no kidding). The backend DB is sybase (oh, joy! :-( ), so I''ve been working on a sybase adapter whenever I get around to it. (But I have another job and kids, so progress is very slow much of the time). I''ve been meaning to start a software project management tool using rails.

Ok, my turn: Demetrius Arraes Nunes Working on my masters degree in PUC-RJ, Brazil I also work on my own e-learning start-up company: Interface Ltd (http://www.interface-ti.com.br) (we use .NET there, for now... ;-) ) I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil My masters degree is about a web modeling technique called OOHDM (Object Oriented Hypermedia Design Method) that was "invented" by my professor, Daniel Schwabe (Phd-UCLA), some 10 years ago, that adds a distinct "navigational modeling" step in the development cycle. In this step, you map conceptual objects to navigational objects, define navigational contexts, indexes, links, anchors and other navigational primitives. I am developing a application that is the same time the modeling environment (using OOHDM) and the resulting application itself in a kind o wiki-like mode where you can edit not only the data, but also the model (and metamodel). The last (and HUGE) step in my project is to port the MySql implementation to a RDF database called Sesame, and that means porting ActiveRecord from relational to semantic/rdf. God (and please, David!) help me... :-O My deadline is februrary 28th. I am already done with 80% of the relational version. This description got a bit too long huh?

We''re deploying a few new products for the medical industry (Asterisk-based voice recording systems, handheld applications, etc.) and will be converting our medical workflow system (currently serving transcription providers) from PHP to Ruby and Rails over the next few months. Since our company is so small we''re heavy into magnifying our productivity. We''ve looked at (best estimate) close to 100 different frameworks in multiple languages over the past year and only Rails appears to actually reduce the amount of work we have to do. I''m also gradually converting my various personal toys over to using Rails as well -- I started with the DemoApp accountomatic which is working very well for me since porting it over to Rails. Next is probably my jukebox system (rdtj.sourceforge.net), which looks like it will end up being Ruby+Madeleine+RGL+FreeBASE+Rails.

RSS feed aggregator, stat management application as well a small ecommerce app, probably won''t finish any of them :) I do 99% of my work in Python when I can, and will continue to do so, but Rails is by far the best web framework I have used (and I guarantee I have used/built apps with pretty much all of them from the PHP ones to the Java ones etc.). To be honest, I wish there was a Python on Rails like has been discussed. Ruby is a fine language, but I know Python in and out and prefer it over Ruby (please do not begin a language war).

[OT] Rails CMS (was Re: Introduce yourself and your project)
Hallo Sascha, Read your post and just couldn''t help replying. For others, sorry for the off-topic post, but I feel this might be interesting to you as well. Here''s an article by Jeff Veen that every CMS vendor should take into their heart: http://www.veen.com/jeff/archives/000622.html I''m in a process of selecting an open source CMS for a site at the moment, and here''s a few things that have struck me *a lot*: - pretty url''s: many cms vendors announce them but they''re mostly lying. In most php systems they are either artificial structures built on top of the actual content, or quasi-pretty, like "site.com/node/23453" instead of "site.com/products/razors/philishave-8080". The pretty-url phenomenon has been motivated mostly via search engine friendliness but I think it''s mostly a human factor. People remember, link to and generally like better pages that have an understandable url. For your system this should be a piece of cake, given the amazing flexibility of rails url handling. - Hierarchical organization of things. Thank god, you mention this in your post :) For a site of decent size, it just doesn''t cut it that you have a "flat nodespace" even if you can then write aliases to those nodes or even if you can build an external "category topology" for the content (pointing at you, Drupal, here). After a short look at ezpublish, I find it does a pretty decent job at this (like it does at i18n). - Which brings us to the multi-lingual content. Please take this into account already in the planning phase as it can be a royal PITA to be added later. - Make sure it''s easy to install even on a shared service like TextDrive. So that it doesn''t require a major amount of root-only configuration like Midgard. This might be in a controversy with "multiple different websites under one adminstration" — I''d prefer the easy installation over the latter any day. Heck, make it easy to install in general and you''d be good. Overall, your proposal looks very promising and interesting. Please keep us informed, I''m at least very eager to help with your project.

I''m Sam Stephenson; 20 years old, unemployed, on leave from Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and currently living in Chicago, IL, US. A recent evaluation has demonstrated that I''m not really good at anything, but that doesn''t keep me from enjoying Rails. I live for Ruby, I''m a huge fan of domain-specific languages, and I get really excited by introspection and all the stuff that comes with it. I like to build small things out of even smaller things. I have a tendency to create projects and leave them unmaintained. As a subscriber to the Rails list, ou may have encountered two of those: Prick[1], an IRC quote application written in Rails, and Paginator Helper[2]. If you use Gtk+, there''s also my Gtk::MDI[3] library, which suffers the same fate. I contribute trivial patches to Rails when I can. My current project is Timber, a Rails application for Web magazines. It lets authors and editors collaborate on articles and makes it easy to lay out content. It''s similar to Textpattern[4] but significantly simpler. I''m also playing around with an interactive Web-based debugger for Rails which adds a live irb console to your error pages with XMLHttpRequest. You can almost always find me on #rubyonrails as sam-. Cheers! [1] http://www.rubyonrails.org/show/DemoApps [2] http://www.rubyonrails.org/show/PaginatorHelper [3] http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?MDI [4] http://www.textpattern.com/
I''m Joe Van Dyk. I''ve been playing around with Ruby for about six months, and Rails about a month. Neat stuff. My "real job" is working for the Integrated Defense Systems division of Boeing. My recent project there has been using Ruby for a GUI to view and control simulations. As far as I know, I''m the only person at Boeing to use Ruby for anything, but hopefully that will change! I''m also developing a real estate site using Rails. Can''t wait until 0.9 comes out.

I am: Bob Sidebotham Vancouver, Canada After spending 30 years writing software in various guises (anyone remember punched cards and paper tape?), I had pretty much burned out. I spent the last several years looking for another vocation. I''ve had some minor successes, such as an exhibit of hand-processed b&w photographs--which I''ve since webified at http://windsong.bc.ca/alonetogether). Recently, however, I discovered Ruby, and my interest in software was re-kindled. Several years ago, I wrote the software for managing a small home delivery business that provides organic produce and groceries. I''m currently considering rewriting that now ancient system in Rails. It has to deal with the whole gamut of processes, including inventory management, supplier ordering, customer relations, customer ordering, warehouse operations, delivery routing, accounting, billing, and others. Ruby and Rails look like they will provide a good foundation for creating a maintainable--maybe even elegant--system for this business. Bob
> I''m seeing a lot of new names on the list. Could we perhaps do a round > of introductions?Sure, great initiative! Fun to see what everyone else is doing :) Samuel Kvarnbrink Lives in Umeå, Sweden. Working part-time as a system administrator at the university of Umeå, otherwise a freelance developer. Freelance: Working with the Umeå Krio Corpus, which is a Rails app that''s used for managing and analyzing texts written in the Krio language for a research project. Krio, which is an Anglo-African Creole language spoken in various parts of West Africa, uses some phonetic characters for extra vowels and therefore the entire collection (which is HUGE and growing!) is encoded using UTF-16. I''ve implemented a very fast text scanner in C that interfaces with Oniguruma, and Rails is used to provide a good frontend for it and handle the DB part. Day job: Working on a _huge_ administrative application for HUMlab, a computer lab for people from all disciplines (but with main focus on the humanities). The app will manage/create user accounts, handle all courses held in the lab (and follow-up surveys), handle reservations, provide an interface for an SNMP-based print quota system (which i wrote in Ruby, of course) and a lot of other stuff. The app basically contains of three components: a Rails frontend, an AR-powered utility that handles/creates accounts in OpenLDAP, and the print quota system (also AR-powered). The app is currently in alpha/planning stage, but will replace a less maintainable CGI-based Ruby system I wrote a while ago. It''s going to be a _lot_ of work, but due to the efficiency of Rails I''m estimating it to be much less cumbersome than maintaining and developing the old app. //samuel ________________________ Samuel Kvarnbrink samuel.kvarnbrink-SiIintg/mUyhy6ZWzZ/+Cw@public.gmane.org http://blog.humlab.umu.se/samuel/ "On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament!], Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?''

Currently overhauling entire website to move it out of the early 90''s era, convinced boss to do it in rails, the best framework that I''ve ever investigated, by a long shot.

In my free time I play with other languages and am one of you who starts many projects and finishes few to none due to other invasive interests, although my current project, an ebay tool that interfaces with their xml web services, has actually come quite far and appears to be finishable, assuming the demons don''t take me first.
Tobias Lütke Stranded German in Ottawa, Canada Currently I''m doing contract and some consulting work as well as several own commercial and private projects. 100% Of my payed work is done in Rails at this point, i''m one of the lucky few. My best known project is probably http://www.snowdevil.ca , a full-fledged e-commerce system build on rails which hopefully hits its next milestone soon by selling some bloody snowboards. Apart from snowdevil i have been working on Hieraki a collaborative book writing tool reusing proven concepts from wikis and tools like them. Hieraki has been progressing well and will probably receive a real announcement soon as it will be released under the MIT license. My background is mainly static languages like c and c++ and unfortunately some java as well. After about 10 years of those you have seen it all... Ruby rocks ! Tobi
Hi, I''m Dan Peterson (danp in #rubyonrails) from Yuma, AZ. I work for the Yuma Educational Consortium which is comprised of the local high school district and one of the two elementary districts in the area as well as other various entities. I''ve been using Ruby for mainly procedural text-processing for about four years now and I still do a lot of text data conversion and manipulation with it every day. I''m blown away by Rails and how well it all works together. I started out using it trying to write a new accounts system with linkage to our two payroll systems. That was a bit ambitious so I''ve put that on hold and am working on an app for tracking patches to our Oracle-based student information system and am having a lot of fun tinkering with it and especially trying out the new features that will appear in 0.9. I can''t wait to implement more things for my customers with Rails; both to help them and to let me have fun doing it! :) -d.
Hi, Michel Rasschaert from Paris, France. I learn the basics of a lot of programming languages as a hobby (too many to write here) and I was very soon interested in Ruby. But it really is rails that made me use it for real at last. Professionally I work for a bank doing Delphi work and hopefully migrating to Java and introducing some XP concepts (testing, continuous integration, IoC, etc.) but it''s hard. In my spare time (not a lot regretfully) I work on a personal finance application on rails :) Maybe we could join force with Chris :) Michel On Tue, 14 Dec 2004 15:53:49 -0500, Tobias Luetke <tobias.luetke-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Tobias Lütke > Stranded German in Ottawa, Canada > > Currently I''m doing contract and some consulting work as well as > several own commercial and private projects. > 100% Of my payed work is done in Rails at this point, i''m one of the lucky few. > My best known project is probably http://www.snowdevil.ca , a > full-fledged e-commerce system > build on rails which hopefully hits its next milestone soon by selling > some bloody snowboards. > > Apart from snowdevil i have been working on Hieraki a collaborative > book writing tool reusing proven concepts from wikis and tools like > them.

I''ve been doing PHP development for 8 years but have just falled in love with Rails. I am currently a senior Physics major attending Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Rails Projects: ---------------------- The Conjuring Cabaret - http://magic.rufy.com/ My first project was to port the first site I created (back in 1996) to Rails from an ugly PHP/MySQL setup. The new version has 752 LOC and is much more customizable. Web Collaborator - http://webcollaborator.com/ (in progress) Again a port, but this time from a homebrewed MVC PHP backend to Rails. It has taken 8 hours to port 90% of the site to Rails compared to the two months of scattered development it took for the original site to be put together. Including libraries (like Smarty), the PHP version had 30 KLOCs. Including Rails code, the Rails version has 3 KLOCs (~600 lines of non-Rails code). This has been a HUGE improvement and will vastly speed up development time for this project. The Rails version should be up before the new year. PATA - http://pataweb.net/ I am in charge of revamping this site and have decided to do it with Rails. Reed College I am going to be building various internal utility pages for Reed College''s web presence with Rails. -------------------- -Lucas http://www.rufy.com/

Curt Sampson
CTO, tabemo.com
Tokyo, Japan
I''m building a (mostly mobile) website for time-based restaurant
discounts (e.g., better discounts when the restaurant is not busy).
Currently I''m battling my way out of PHP and MySQL hell, legacy of
a previous IT administration here.
Previously I was Chief Architect at vanten.com, where my main project
was an enterprise management system for a national wireless ISP in
Japan. That was Java on top of PostgreSQL, and while PostgreSQL can
compete with the best of them, it increased my frustrations with Java
to the point I started looking for a new language.

How about we wait until it is a bit warmer? :-) --austin On Mon, 20 Dec 2004 13:10:35 -0600, Sean Schulte <sirsean-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> How about Chicago?

hi every one New to the mailing list, I''ve looked in the archives and found this thread. So here is my intro : Who : Thomas ''ange'' Riboulet Where : Paris, France What : Ruby fan since I discovered it, one year and half ago, discovered rails last week, seems great !

Rails project : doing a website brick to manage howtos, articles, publications. More : student, looking for a sys/net admin job. European Conf : why not :) ange
