Welcome to the #NoRuKo conference, an online gathering organized by Stichting Ruby NL, where participants celebrate the Ruby programming language. In this introductory video, speakers Ramón Huidobro, Raita van Rijswijk, and Arno Fleming outline the schedule and structure of the event, emphasizing its community-driven nature and unique online format due to cancellations of in-person events in 2020. ### Key Points Discussed: - **Event Background**: The conference arose from a passion to connect Ruby enthusiasts after a quiet period in the Ruby community, encouraging the idea to host an online event that accommodates speakers and organizers from around the world. - **Event Structure**: The conference is divided into two main tracks: - **Main Track**: Features presentations from various speakers including notable figures like Mats, Penelope, and others, along with scheduled musical interludes. - **Community Track**: Focuses on community engagement, interactive discussions, and showcases alternative content led by different emcees. - **Audience Engagement**: Participants are encouraged to engage in the live chat during presentations, ask questions, and share their locations via emojis in the chat, enhancing the communal experience. - **Accessibility Features**: Live captions are provided to aid accessibility, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity in the online space. - **Community Guidelines**: A clear code of conduct is established to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all participants, with contact information provided for assistance if necessary. - **Post-Conference Activities**: Attendees are invited to partake in virtual Ruby karaoke after the conference, fostering a sense of community and fun, and a sneak peek at future events like Euroko 2021 in Finland is shared. In conclusion, the NoRuKo conference serves not just as an educational platform, but as a chance for Ruby programmers to come together in an online setting, collaborate, and connect. The excitement for engaging talks and interactive elements demonstrates the adaptability of the Ruby community in fostering connections, even in challenging times.
