Open Conference Expectations

For conferences, it's extremely important that attendees get top-quality content from industry experts. As a highly compelling format of educating others based on experience and research, conferences stand to be one the best sources of refined knowledge available. Still, it's important for a successful event to have a few guidelines to ensure quality content from the best and most appropriate speakers. Below is a set of guidelines for conference organizers that ensure quality content for attendees and the community.

What We, As Speakers, Expect from Conferences

1. Video recordings: Organizers should prioritize recording all talks and sessions. A conference that only teaches the ~300 people in the room has constrained value and is not worthwhile to a speaker who wants to benefit the community. When recorded, video will be available online under a permissive license (CC-BY-*) within six months of the event.

2. Travel reimbursement: Conferences will reimburse travel

You don't need bundle exec, rbenv-bundler or other bundler integration scripts

You just need 2 things

Just prepend $PATH with .bundle/bin:

$ cat ~/.bashrc
...
export PATH=".bundle/bin:$PATH"

Using Unicorn with Upstart

This configuration works with Upstart on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

The reason why it needs to be done this way (i.e. with the pre-start and post-stop stanzas), is because Upstart is unable to track whever Unicorn master process re-execs itself on hot deploys. One can use it without hot-deploys and run Unicorn in foreground also, it then only needs one exec stanza.

This presumes you are not using RVM, so no voodoo dances.

  # This dup pattern is used frequently to avoid race conditions on state stored
  # inside this middleware. It's not foolproof, but if you're just using
  # single-reference instance variables (instance variables with primitive
  # values (not data structures)) then it works well.

#Overview drip is an awesome command line tool that can be used to dramatically lower perceived JVM startup time. It does this by preloading an entirely new JVM process\instance and allowing you to simply use the preloaded environment. This has extraordinary results with jruby.

We reduced time to run rake environment from 13 seconds to a mere 3.5 seconds. This is actually at or near MRI 1.9.3p327 (with falcon patch) speeds!

Adding a few addition jruby options will reduce startup time even further (down to 1.69 seconds).

#Install Drip Install drip if you haven't already (see https://github.com/flatland/drip)
