Another thing we’re bringing to Euruko is our Bingo game 🎉
We did it at Rails World, and now it’s back — updated and reimagined for Euruko!

One of the things we’d love to do at Euruko is bring together all the Ruby community organizers for a casual meetup.
Let’s just have lunch, share updates, and spend some time together!

We’d be really happy to see everyone there.

My passport photo ended up as a tribute to Mr. Bean. Now I look almost exactly like him there.

We truly believe there’s so much untapped value when communities and businesses collaborate — from brand awareness and developer-facing product promotion to team education and reputation-building.

Let’s talk.

We’d especially love to hear from local companies and agencies who may be only starting to explore ways to show up.
We’re here to help you take that step — and we’d love to understand what kind of support you might need from us.

If this resonates, please share this post within your network.

Open source is a big part of what Baltic Ruby values and supports.

Thanks, Marty!

One of the updates we brought to Rails World is the opening of our CFP.
That’s no coincidence — this year, we’re putting a special focus on @rails in our lineup.
So if you’ve got a talk you’d love to share with the community, we’d love to hear from you.

Bart Simpson is writing on a chalkboard: ‘Typesense should not suffer because of my short memory.’

I owe @typesense. But great products shouldn’t suffer from my short memory :)
Here's why they are so cool: shorturl.at/Pgbkt
Or maybe because it’s open source: shorturl.at/RNdGs
Or because they’re Top-3 Ruby community supporter: shorturl.at/crKWf
What you think?

I want to say thank you for that. It’s all you!

Let’s make the next one even better — together!

Why do we do Baltic Ruby?

Because we can’t not do it.
Because #Ruby is more than a language — it’s a mindset, a culture, a joy.
Huge thanks to our organizers Ali Krynitsky & Sergey Sergyenko and the whole @cybergizer team.

Let’s do it again in 2026. 🫶
