We've had a lot of issues and PRs around updates - events, new videos, changelog, and more. I tried to bring all that together in the newsletter. ♥️ Let me know what you think and if you have ideas for March! ✨

Hello friends! This is our first edition of the Ruby Events Newsletter! Find recent events, released videos, and a changelog within. Let us know if there's anything you want to see in March's edition? 🤩 www.rubyevents.org/announcement...

Has anyone noticed slow downs in Rspec test suite when upgrading from Ruby 3.4 to 4.0 ? Our test suits with 4.0 is 2x slower than 3.4 We have no changes beside the Ruby version to upgrade to 4.0

Just wanted to share that @rubyevents.org looks really good, I recently found the page about TruffleRuby-related talks: www.rubyevents.org/topics/truff... and of course my own profile page: www.rubyevents.org/profiles/ere...

My schedule for January has changed. I'll be going live every Sunday at 18:00 UTC, starting today! This month we'll be focusing on RubyEvents. See you there! twitch.tv/Chaelcodes

Happy New Year! 🎉 2025 was an incredible year for Ruby Events around the world and also for the @rubyevents.org platform! To celebrate, we're releasing RubyEvents Wrapped! A look back at talks, events, speakers, sponsors, and the Ruby community's year!

Have you checked your RubyEvents Wrapped yet? See your 2025 in review and share it with the Ruby community! Link below 👇🏼 rubyevents.org/wrapped Happy 2026, we hope to see you at a Ruby event soon! ❤️ #ruby #rubyevents #rubyfriends

It's not *officially* sanctioned, but I made a social icon SVG for @rubyevents.org to go on the @blueridgeruby.com footer. Kinda satisfying. 😌

Congrats on the new Ruby website launch, this looks great! Also very happy to see that @rubyevents.org is linked from the landing page! ❤️

Finally, www.ruby-lang.org/en/ has a new design.

Dear gem maintainers 👋 Rails 8.1 just dropped, but many gems can’t be used because of overly strict gemspec constraints. Please don’t hard-restrict Rails versions, let us test early and report real issues sooner! ❤️ Thanks

The talk recordings from @rmrubyconf.bsky.social 2025 are now live on @rubyevents.org, go check them out! We also just shipped a new look for the featured section on the home page! 🎨

Ruby Gems and Bundler will be moved into the Ruby organization. * Ruby Core and Ruby Central will be managing it together * No changes to license, IP, or copyright * rubygems.org operated by Ruby Central www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2025... rubycentral.org/news/ruby-ce...

Additionally to collecting stamps in your physical @therubypassport.com, you can now also collect and see these stamps on @rubyevents.org!

I tried to explain why I don't believe the recent accusations toward my former teammates, as well as how the Ruby and Rails Infra team at Shopify operates and why it can be trusted. byroot.github.io/opensource/r...

We now show a new "Mutual Events" tab when viewing an other person's @rubyevents.org profile! Thanks to @chaelcodes.bsky.social for this great contribution!

I agree and even more so: what if the problem is us, the Ruby community, not contributing to our key nonprofit enough? We did not have ownership because we didn’t show up, and RC ended up being squeezed by a big donor because they did not have enough sponsors, stability and support.

I waste way too much time binging random crap on Youtube. If I need downtime, I might just as well watch something useful, right? I think I found a hack to help with that. Now I just redirect to RubyEvents and watch some talk 😅 #ruby

Behind every great Ruby event is a group of amazing sponsors. 💎 @rubyevents.org now tracks and showcases the companies helping make our conferences and meetups happen worldwide. 🌍

I just released Herb v0.4.3! 🎉 It's been another super productive week for Herb! This week I mostly focused on improving the formatter and fixing bugs in general! It's starting to take shape and feels great to use! I really love where this is going! ❤️

I would like to improve the user experience on RubyEvents for watching content. What would be the killers features for you to make it your default viewing platform. Please comment with what ever ideas you might have everything is always valuable

I think that an achievement for @rubyevents.org is that I see more and more people sharing links to a talk on RubyEvents rather than YouTube

The recordings from the final RailsConf 2025 are now also live on @rubyevents.org! #railsconf #railsconf2025 @rubycentral.org

I keep finding myself slinking away doing tons of Open Source, and then I never really gather it up anywhere. I'm trying to get better at doing that so: kaspth.com/posts/kasper...

The Tropical on Rails 2025 talk recordings are now available on @rubyevents.org! www.rubyevents.org/events/tropi...

Enjoy the videos for both Balkan Ruby 2025 days at youtube.com/playlist?lis.... Balkan Ruby 2026 will be held in Sofia from May 15 to 16, 2026. Stay tuned for more details. ☀️

The @balkanruby.bsky.social 2025 talk recordings are now available on @rubyevents.org as well! 🙌 www.rubyevents.org/events/balka...

As announced at RubyKaigi today, I've been working on a new HTML-Aware ERB Parser that I just released today. Introducing Herb — a fast, modern, and HTML-aware ERB parser, designed from the ground up for smarter developer tooling. #rubykaigi #rubykaigi2025

As revealed at @tropicalonrails.bsky.social today, we are introducing an iOS app for @rubyevents.org to push and support the recent uptick in Ruby Events around the world. #tropicalonrails #tropicalonrails2025

Great to see @adrienpoly.com and @marcoroth.dev with Ruby Video trending on trending on HN today after the Ruby Concurrency talk by @jpcamara.com hit the top spot yesterday. Ruby’s having a good run right now and it’s not even Christmas yet!

It is now live in prod will get a look tomorrow at @appsignal.com to see if we had any free performance improvements 😋

Ok this wasn't expected... I removed spring from my main app. We got to a point where our boot is much faster thanks to Rails 8 and some optimisations, so spring wasn't worth anymore. Unexpected consequence our CI on Github went from about 10min down to 7min 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯. don't ask me WHY

RubyVideo was successfully deployed to staging with rc1 and I will promote this to prod as soon as github action setup-ruby is updated. Not issues at all from what I could see 👏

So far Rails 7.2 -> Rails 8.0 is my easiest Rails upgrade ever

cmd+k search is live now at rubyvideo.dev 🎉

Two cool improvements are coming to <dialog> soon ™️. - button command/commandfor attributes to open dialogs without JS. - closedby attribute to enable light dismiss or disable close on esc (etc)

I started to build the cmd+k global search feature on RubyVideo. A mix of Sqlite FT search + Hotwire. They are a few UI/UX things to polish, but I think it starts to look nice. You can check the current prototype at staging.rubyvideo.dev Feedback welcome WIP PR : github.com/adrienpoly/r...

Look who is here now!

Hey #rubyconf participants. How was your day yesterday ? What were your featured talks?

Ok this looks like a dead end, sorry. At least it inspired me to look into it further and write a post! 😅 bsky.app/profile/bora...

Where is the edit button on Bluesky ?

😍🎉 This feels like magic. Looks like I am down to 1 min on a warm cache. Will try now to update a gem

rubyvideo.dev has a GitHub action to deploy with Kamal. On a warm cache it takes about 5min to build and deploy. On a cold cache it can take up to 25min. I know GitHub runners are slow, but are those numbers normal ? If you have some ideas of improvements github.com/adrienpoly/r...

Hey 👋🏻 on rubyvideo.dev you can now add your Bsky account to your speaker page. Either claim your page with a GitHub auth or add a suggestion that we will validate
