Living resources for organizers {: .eyebrow }
Everything you need to start and run a Ruby community, written by people who’ve done it.
Building a community - whether it’s a local meetup or a conference with hundreds of attendees - is both easy and hard. Getting started doesn’t take much. You need an idea, a few friendly people, and the will to make something happen. Building something that lasts is harder. It takes effort, experience, and know-how. These guides exist to make those hard parts easier.
No two communities are alike, and these guides reflect that. Built on conversations with organizers from around the world, they’re more than a checklist. They bring together the hard-won experience of people who love Ruby and put in the work to grow its community.

Work in progress
Still being written and refined. If you have organizing experience to share — or a question you wish they answered — help shape what comes next.

It's a rare time for people to have face-to-face interaction and build health and deeper connection together. You need the technical content, because that's the affinity that draws us together.
