Subject: [Ruma-team] Team Introductions
Message-ID: <301383980708212000s34eddc9k7e65b4e7c3ce2725@mail.gmail.com>

Alright guys, we have as many responses as I think we're gonna get. So lets
do some team Introductions- I'll go first.

I'm Jesse (morgajel), and I've been writing Ruby off and on since 2003. I'm
also part of the Luma team, which is what Ruma is modeled after.  I created
Ruma for two reasons:
1) get some fresh input on how to design an application like Luma
2) I suck at python (which is what Luma is written in)

I'm comfortable writing Ruby, Perl, PHP, Bash, and have been known to hack
at java, C, and python. I'm currently a Linux sysadmin near Detroit, MI who
uses LDAP on a daily basis. I've been using qtruby for a while, and have
used different LDAP libraries for different languages. I'm a big fan of
Subversion and unit tests, so expect to see me use them extensively.

What I'd like to know about you guys is the following:

Who are you?
Where are you from?
What do you do for a living?
How long have you been a developer?
How long have you written Ruby, if ever?
What do you hope to get out of this project?
What ideas/skills do you bring to the table?

I'm thinking that probably next week I'd like to gather as many of you
together in #ruma on freenode to try and brainstorm a bit. I haven't set a
time, but I'm thinking 9pm Eastern on monday the 27th. I'll confirm this in
a day or two.

Look forward to hearing from you all.
-Jesse

Whoops- sorry about that guys, I'm still tinkering with the lists- Navine

problem- I'll forward Lapita's here shortly.

Subject: Self Introduction
To: morgajel at gmail.com

I'm Lapita,a chinese college student.It
is a disadvantage that English is not my native language.
I learnt ruby 6 months ago,I used it as
the language of my daily programming,all the process is joyful.
I like this language,so I am always
thinking of contributing for ruby and ruby users as I once got help from
them as
well.I have never participated any real projects,so maybe all the things
related
with them are fresh to me.
Through this project,I hope I can:
1.know more techniques/knowledge about ruby
2.learn to work on Linux
3.know how the (open source)project runs
4.gain the confidence from a sucessful
beginning.
I didn't think out any ideas.But I really,really think the test is crucial
in development,for I really benefit from this in the XP practice hold by my
college this summer.

If you'd like to track actual development a little closer, I've set up the
repository to send an email to
ruma-devel at rubyforge.org with the commit log and an attached diff. You can
find the list here:

http://rubyforge.org/mail/?group_id=4182

That way we can limit this list to team-related talk and keep the overall
noise down.

Hi
Who are you?
I am Ilango Gurusamy from Troy, Michigan. A somebody right now in Java  and Ruby development, but hopes to change all that.

Where are you from?
I am Asian Indian by descent. I now live in Troy, Michigan.

What do you do for a living?
I work as a software developer.   

How long have you been a developer?
I have been a developer for the last 17 months

How long have you written Ruby, if ever?
Never have. 
 
What do you hope to get out of this project?
My hope for this project is to be able to be leader in my own right. How would I do that? I hope to make substantial contributions to this project over time. Ultimately I hope to be able to work within a team learning and imparting real-world skills for software and people.

What ideas/skills do you bring to the table?
More than a familiarity with Core Java APIs, JDBC, Data Access Objects, WebLogic Server, XML, Eclipse, CVS, Subversion, exposure to Suse Linux, solid written and spoken skills, and a keenness to work with people (and learn from them) in understanding and translating real world requirements into code.

thanks
ilango

Who are you?

Mike Breen

Where are you from?

Boston, MA USA

What do you do for a living?

Freelance software developer.

How long have you been a developer?

Almost 9 years

How long have you written Ruby, if ever?

I started tinkering with Ruby on Rails about 2 months ago.

What do you hope to get out of this project?

I hope to raise the level of my Ruby knowledge. I feel the best way to do
that is to be part of a team where my code will be reviewed. I have never
used QT4 so I'm excited to work with that.

What ideas/skills do you bring to the table?

Aside from the technical skills I've gained I've been fortunate enough to
work at several start-ups. The success and, more importantly, the failures
I've experienced have provided me with some insight on what it takes to make
it on a small team. I'm also a big believer in Agile Software
Development<http://agilemanifesto.org/>.
But don't worry I'm not a zealot and not here to force my views on the team

I'm really excited to be part of the team and I'm looking forward to working
with all of you!

I?m Renato Moreira, more known as TerminusEst.
I?m from Brazil and work at an office as sub-manager.
I never was a developer, I have 21 years and don?t have time to dedicate in
programming, so I?m a newbie.
I have the basic of C, HTML and Assembly.
My goal in this project not concerns only to Ruby, but programming in
general. I want to learn how to proceed
in a project development, all the way from beginning until release to
final-users, passing by algorithms, structures, debugging and all the
related stuff.
I?m glad to be in this team. Cya.

Message-ID: <301383980708281246l7a7ce95fmc4ee63ac5a949a90@mail.gmail.com>

So I've marked a 0.5 branch to be released- no more features will be added,
only bugfixes and final changes before being tagged and packaged- please
please please, if you can, get a dev environment up and running so you can
test it!

To switch to the 0.5 branch, simply move to your currently checked out
version and run:

svn switch svn+ssh://developername at rubyforge.net/var/svn/ruma/branches/ruma-0.5


you can switch back to the trunk with:
svn switch svn+ssh://developername at rubyforge.net/var/svn/ruma/trunk


all changes made in this branch will be merged back into the trunk as we go.



Lets get some feedback going!

Message-ID: <301383980708281405w3200b046q4939a88c051b5701@mail.gmail.com>

Well, I'd say that was probably the most successful job posting I've ever
seen- I got so many responses on the rubyNoobs job opening that I'm marking
it as filled- everyone say hi to Johan Pretorius and Rene Paulokat- the last
two noobs to join. We're up to 17 people now- lets try to keep it that high.


For now I'm going to have us focus on getting this group up and running with
development environments and getting comfortable with both Ruby and Ruma. If
you have any questions, comments or suggestions, feel free to share them.
I'd also like to keep a running tab of who has working environments (capable
or running ruma), as well as what extra steps were needed if it's not
running on *buntu. So... who's got a working dev environment?

If you haven't yet introduced yourself to the list, check out the ruma-team
archives on how to do it:
http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/ruma-team/2007-August/thread.html

Also wanted to let the new guys know about the next team meeting- everyone
should have received an invite at this point- if not, let me know.

Lastly, what do you guys want to learn or discuss?  Feel free to ask
questions about Ruma, Ruby, LDAP, QT4, etc.

Message-ID: <301383980708281713t17549d4aq9312acb06fe00aa9@mail.gmail.com>

17:34 < lh-d> hi jesse
17:36 < lh-d> i've had a look at qt designer, but can't see how you could
integrate custom code elements..am I even looking in the right direction?
17:38 < lh-d> also..do you want the "Quit" entry in the menu to just quit
the app or show a confirmation dialog?
18:08 < lh-d> could also just add the patch to scripts/patches ..that would
be easier :)

Sorry I missed you Lars- you caught me while I was at the store and eating
dinner after I got home.

I think patches might be the best/only option;
I think the quit() in MainWindow was a case where I planned on just doing a
close(), but wasn't sure if I wanted to do any other sanity checking before
that. I think we can probably switch quit() to close() in that connect and
and remove the slots entry above that.

Subject: [Ruma-team] References
Message-ID: <301383980708310458t79af4a0bpf081076a666e3a01@mail.gmail.com>

So Ilango gave me the idea to fill you guys in on some handy references for
Ruby- I'm gonna run through these and suggest you bookmark them, because
they're very useful.

Programming Ruby: the Pragmatic Programmer's Guide - commonly called the
pickaxe book because it has a pickaxe on it. It really is required reading
for ruby programmers- it's not only the definitive resource for learning
ruby, but it's a well written book. You can read a chapter in a day for a
few weeks and get the a strong grasp of ruby. The pickaxe book can be found
in your local bookstore as well as online:

http://www.rubycentral.com/book/   (appears to be down at the moment)

For a more handy reference, check out these versions:

http://whytheluckystiff.net/ruby/pickaxe/
http://phrogz.net/ProgrammingRuby/

They have handy glossary/reference features.

If you're looking to spend more money, I also suggest the Ruby Cookbook.
It's full of clear 10-line examples that you would take you five times as
many lines of code to write.  It helps the learning process watching someone
use features you may not have been aware of. A good example is the .nil?
object method.  Coming from the perl world, I simply wrote "if object ==
nil", but later found an example of "if object.nil?" in the cookbook. I've
been using nil? ever since.



How about some online API references? I keep the following close at hand
because they're used often:

http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/
This is the core documentation for ruby- just remember that the search
feature of your browser is your best friend.

http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/test/unit/rdoc/
I use this mainly to see what kinds of asserts are available for my unit
tests- If you're new to unit testing, click on Test::Unit in the middle
column at the top for a really nice introduction.

http://onestepback.org/software/flexmock/
flexmock is the mock object of choice for our testing- This is the first
time I've used flexmock, and I'm really new to mock objects as a whole. This
is really useful for writing unit tests when you want a complex object to
behave a certain way. Right now I'm writing unit tests for
lib/uiclasses/ServerWidget- it requires ServerWidget to have a ServerManager
which looks up a Server which returns a list of base DNs. Rather than build
all of that, I insert a flexmock ServerManager which will always return the
value I'm looking for- Now I don't have to rely on an actual server existing
to test this gui component.


http://doc.trolltech.com/4.1/classes.html
This isn't really a Ruby reference, but it's still very helpful. Most of
their examples are given in C++, but it quickly becomes second nature to
translate it to ruby. If in doubt, check Ruma to see if it's been done, or
just ask the team. #qtruby on freenode is also very helpful if you have
questions about functionality, or even if you find a bug in qtruby itself.

http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/rexml/rdoc/  (
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/ )
Rexml is a fairly decent xml parser for ruby. It takes a little getting used
to, but since all of our configs are in xml, it's worth getting to know.
This, like unit/test is part of the standard library- there are lots of
things in there you can play with, but these two are the most important.

http://del.icio.us/morgajel/ruby  ("My ruby bookmarks; let me show you
them.")
I find all sorts of useful things on the net, and when I do I stuff them in
here- tagged, bagged and ready to go.
Not only does it let me keep way more bookmarks than I would the
conventional way, but I can tag them for easy retrieval later. Delicious
also gives me the ability to take my bookmarks anywhere, and allows me to
share them with you guys. I highly suggest setting up an account and adding
myself and each other to your networks so you can share bookmarks.


Alright, that's all I have for now.
