Hi, The wife and I are going to be in Paris from December 16 to 23rd of this year. Be great if I could do some Rails, Ruby, or other computer stuff there, so I have an excuse to write it off as a business expense. 🙂 Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks, Joe ---

but gives me the opportunity to ask 😉 France seems rather Python biased right now, I am afraid that Ruby is very little known here. Had a long discussion with the Python guys at Linux Solutions 2006, but there was not much else â˜č They are doing great stuff but still fail to see Ruby’s supperiority, well I wasted my time 😉 There are two or three regular posters with French names, but that does not mean anything, not even that they are from Quebec. Could you cheer me up on this Guillaume, maybe offlist?

 And seven years ago I did not much about Ruby. Cheers, Guillaume.
