The SD Ruby website

SD Ruby

This app is the website of SD Ruby, a local Ruby user group based in San Diego, CA.

Currently, this application includes support for our video podcast, member signup and registration, member profiles, and a Github project list. We're also working on adding other features.

System Dependencies

ImageMagick

To work best, you must have ImageMagick installed on your local machine:

• For Linux: This is best installed with your package manager. For Debian-flavored distributions (Ubuntu), use: "aptitude install imagemagick".
• For Mac OS X: The best approach is to install this via homebrew: "brew install imagemagick".

Installation

• bundle install
• configure config/database.yml with your preferred settings (You can use the provided database.example.yml file to use sqlite3)
• Setup database and load sample data (rake db:migrate db:data:load)
• rake sunspot:solr:start (to start the solr search engine)
• rake sunspot:solr:reindex (to index the database)
• sass --watch public/stylesheets:public/stylesheets/compiled
• rails s

Running Tests

• rake db:test:prepare (if this is your first time running the tests)
• rspec spec

We also have Guard set up:

• guard

Please be sure to run the tests and ensure all are passing before issuing a pull request!

Features

Podcast

Thanks to UCSD, we're able to record SD Ruby meetings, and publish our talks as a video podcast.

The podcast code can generate both an Atom feed and an RSS feed (with custom iTunes RSS extensions).

Member Guide

The member guide contains a list of all SD Ruby members.

Member profiles can include:

• Full name

Project List

The list of projects shows all Github projects created by SD Ruby members.
