Rails in Brazil
I spent last week working in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the 3rd largest city in the world. 17 million people live there, dwarfing any other city I’ve been in terms of sheer size.
So, I started wondering what kind of Rails community exists in Brazil. The Ruby on Rails in Brazil site is pretty sweet… a Portuguese replica of the original site . Ronaldo Melo Ferraz over at Reflective Surface is responsible for that.
The excellent Taggable mix-in (which I use often) was created by Demetrius Nunes, a developer from Rio de Janerio.
My far-from-exhaustive search on Google turned up a few other developers in Brazil, and a handful of Brazilian blog postings and comments. Also found this post confirming what I experienced in Sao Paolo: Brazilians Dominate Orkut, By The Numbers. It seemed like everyone I talked to there was an Orkut fanatic. They couldn’t believe I wasn’t even registered on the network.
So, it’s good to see there’s a community of Railsers building in Brazil. This week I’m in Argentina, so I’ll have to do a little research to find out whether the framework has made inroads in this country as well.
Back next week with more regular blogging…
