Giving Back to the Ruby Community
summary
Local Ruby meetups run monthly in Manila with 30 attendees average and workshops/code camps drawing ~50 people; the local group ran 10 events in 2017 and counts 25+ companies using Ruby, about half willing to host. Organizing is mostly coordination of venue, speakers, dates, occasional recording gear for livestreams, and promotion; the recurring problem is a shortage of speakers. To start: bring a short Ruby topic, slides, and just show up or talk to the organizers.
