MissingMethod

Too bad nobody built an app to help judge RailsDay applications. That would have been 24 hours well-spent, because the RailsDay judging has again been delayed. RailsDay was June 17th, it’s now August 13th, coming up on two months. I can understand how much work it must be to judge all those entries, and I definitely sympathize with the judges, who must have about a billion other things to worry about.

Still, it’s a shame the process couldn’t have gone more smoothly, and I hope it does next year. I say this not so much because I’m impatient and want to find out who won, but because the RailsDay competition was a great way of building momentum for Rails and the Rails community. It would have been great to build off the buzz of RailsDay to show how much quicker development with Rails is, and how agile and alert the community is. Unfortunately, because of the delays, we’ve lost a lot of that initial momentum.

In any case, I hope the new judges are able to get the results out quickly, and I’m still grateful to all the organizers and volunteers who made RailsDay possible. Regardless of the results, it was a great experience.
