Linode.com ist stolz darauf, die erste jährliche Rails Rumble Meisterschaft zu sponsern!
Der Wettbewerb ist offiziell für den 8. und 9. September angesetzt. Stellen Sie Ihr Team zusammen und gehen Sie auf die Website, um sich anzumelden.
[Das Konzept ist einfach: Sie haben 48 Stunden Zeit, um eine Webanwendung von Grund auf zu entwerfen, zu entwickeln und einzusetzen. Nach Ablauf dieser 48 Stunden werden Sie von der Community in einer Reihe von Kategorien durch ein Peer-Ranking bewertet (weitere Informationen finden Sie unter Regeln). Nach etwa einer Woche des kontrollierten Chaos wird die Bewertung abgeschlossen und der Staub legt sich. Dann werden die Gewinner erklärt und mit tollen Preisen belohnt. Wir werden die Preise in Kürze bekannt geben[/quote].

The web site strikes me as being *too* official, in the "protests too much" vein of thinking ([url=http://www.goenglish.com/ProtestTooMuch.asp]idiom ref[/url]), as if it’s not _really_ official somehow. That might scare away potential participants.

As of right now the site is officially live and the competition is officially announced. And we’re officially hopeful that you’re as pumped up about it as we are.

I just watched many of the screencasts (working on the rest). There are a lot of cool projects there. Impressive that they were done in 48 hours! (The guy in the Pagestackr one has a cool accent.)
Is there a particular reason it’s restricted to Ruby on Rails? Is it just that you think it couldn’t be done in Perl? 🙂
We did not organize the Rumble — we sponsored it. This time around they focused on ruby and what can be done with it in 48 hours.
Rumor has it that the next Rumble may be more "startup incubator" focused and not be language restricted.
