Meet the organizers: Jan “yashke” Filipowski
yashke (twitter, blog) is widely experienced Ruby developer, who loves crafting beatiful front-end code as well as digging into sysadmin tasks. Besides, he has many times proven himself as excellent organizer, so it was obvious choice to elect him as the leader of wroc_love.rb organizers team.
Meet the organizers: Robert Pankowecki
Robert (twitter, site) is a passionate Ruby developer and dedicated open source supporter. You may know him from active_reload fame or his activity on Rails mailing list.
He not only blogs but also speaks on Ruby regularly on DRUG meetings (yet supporting one talk per meeting promise).
Meet the organizers: Paweł Pacana
Does “disk utilization”, “IOPS” or “disk latency” say something to you ? How about “io-wait” or “slab cache” ? I was also not familiary with many of them unitl I met Paweł. The thing is: sometimes when we deal with high level stuff, acceptance testing, business value of project, DCI, MVC drama, we tend to forget that our applications run on raw hardware in real operating systems. Not enough RAM, full disk, starving disk, memory leaks, open files limits, all of them can make your beautifuly written application useless unless you know what caused the problem and how to fix it. That’s why it is so good to have Paweł in the team. He is not only a great Rails and Event Machine developer but also has a proper understanding on how some decisions (such us database, http server, application server, programming model) will affect performance and scalabilty of the overall solution. Paweł is our “self-proclaimed community manager” with highest number of talks given on DRUG, and “+1” achievments on our irc channel.
Meet the organizers: Michał Szajbe
Co-founder & CTO @ Monterail. Über-engineer loving solid and logical software solutions. After playing with PHP he fell in love with Ruby and it turned out to be the love of his life. On a daily basis he supervises all Monterail’s projects assuring high quality of code. And from time to time writes beautifully designed Ruby software. Great fan of soccer and sports in general. Michał lead the team that developed the conference webiste.
Meet the organizers: Bartosz Pietrzak
Co-founder & Król Polski @ Monterail. Bought his first programming book when he was too young to understand it. Still haven’t decided whether his Facebook and Twitter profiles should be professional or hip. Tool- and process-junkie, he’s obsessed with improving workflows, team-client communication and making the work as much fun and rewarding as possible - hence his focus is mainly on Ruby. Recently fell in love with the desktop-like MVC in web applications. Pusher of new ideas and fresh approaches to old problems. Bartosz shaped the general look and feel of the conference website and worked closely with the team that created and implemented it.
Meet the organizers: Michał Łomnicki
Michał Łomnicki (twitter, blog, github) is our local sql guru. He is one of the creators of schema_plus gem. His biggest responsibility as an organizer is to make sure that you are all going to have a lot of fun. He will take care of you during our before party, afterparty or any other spontanious party that will ocurr. It doesn’t matter when the party ends. Last time I checked he was leaving a party at 5 a.m. . He constantly stays till the end of our DRUG meetings, discussing and enjoying beer with everyone.
Meet the organizers: Andrzej Krzywda
Andrzej Krzywda is probably the most famous person within all of the organizers. He loves DCI and tries to spread the knowledge about it through his blog. Many Rubyists hate Java but not him. If you meet him during one of our Ruby User Group meeting make sure that you are ready for a long flame. When it comes to Ruby or Javascript he has got an opinion on almost every topic. As a CEO of Arkency he communicates daily with different clients and knows what processes work and which are much harder to establish and less useful. He’s also teaching Ruby on Rails at University of Wrocław thus providing fresh blood to our community.
