About us
Ruby Wellington (formally known as Wellrailed, Wellington-Rails) is a Wellington, New Zealand based tech meetup which has been part of the community since 2006! While we're a Ruby meetup, our topics tend to span broad topics - e.g.: pure Ruby, Rails apps, frontend, security, infrastructure and general career and industry topics too.
The meetup currently runs every two months with a bit of a break over summer - typically March, May, July, September and November.
Note: In the past all discussions + meeting details were organised discussed on the Google announced on the Google Group which has mostly been replaced by the RubyNZ Slack.
