ABOUT EVENT

Welcome to RubyConfAfrica 2019

Ruby Conference brings entrepreneurs, developers, open source contributors, and conference speakers from all around the world for a 3-day conference. Why? We believe in a holistic approach we would solve so many problems through entrepreneurship approach “Solution approach” and open source approach. This in return empowers everyone who attends with technology “tool” and entrepreneurship “Methodology” to reach their fullest potential and inspire the rest of the world and their communities. Finding the complete solution for Africa will involve many different parties and many different techniques. Open source culture must be included in that toolkit to spur growth, innovation, and upliftment. By investigating their respective indicators in socio-economics, ICT penetration, and business environments, countries can determine which open source approach and practices suits them the best. Not every country will pursue the same open source and tool path, however, finding that best fit for each country’s need should be a critical area of focus for open source experts in the years to come. Nairuby is a community organization made of developers, entrepreneurs and freelancers. In terms of development the community focuses on ruby technologies and frameworks, which are all open source and widely used by startups to prototype and carry out proof of concept with a go to market strategy. The community brings you Ruby conference every year with different themes to help spur innovation and growth in contribution to global economy
