Amsterdam Rails Catchup summary

It was brilliant to meet up with a dozen or so other Rails developers living in and around Amsterdam yesterday for coffee. Nearly everyone was using Rails professionally that I chatted with. Of those, most worked for small firms or themselves. Let’s skip straight past my ignorance of statistical methodology if we shall, and take away from this gathering, that Rails Rules in de Netherlands!

For anyone who nows comes to me as the source of all knowledge about Rails in the Netherlands, please be guided to the following list of local gurus in attendance:

• fngtps.com – Thijs and Manfred – the orchestrators of the gathering
• hollandonrails.nl (Dutch) – Chris, Chiel, and Stephan; English post here on the catchup
• rubyenrails.nl (Dutch) – Michiel, Remco, and Danny
• pinupgeek.com – Rodney
• juice10.com – Justin
• railsguru.com – Andy
• drnicwilliams.com – Dr Nic (moi)

A grand occasion. Hope there is another before I leave in 2 mths.
