Ruby Heroes Awards


Decided to submit a few votes for my Ruby Heroes. I voted for people whose work I use regularly or expect to be using more regularly. Thus, I voted for:

  • Rick Olson (for restful_authentication, acts_as_versioned, and us_states)
  • Evan Weaver (for ultrasphinx and has_many_polymorphs)
  • Chris Wanstrath (for err the blog, github, will_paginate, and ambition)
  • the Seattle Ruby Brigade as a group (for autotest, RubyGems, their consistent open source output, and their hackfests, whose idea I stole for Boston.rb)
  • Ezra (for Merb, Engine Yard, and Rubinius)
  • Tammer Saleh (for Shoulda)
  • Jon Yurek (for Paperclip and Squirrel)
  • The Haml team (for Haml)
