One Year of Dresden.rb: Looking Back on Twelve Months of Ruby Community in Dresden

One year ago, we at webit! started organizing a regular Ruby meetup in Dresden. Our goal was to connect developers in the region and foster professional exchange. Under the name Dresden.rb, we revived the idea of a Dresden-based Ruby User Group and gave it new life. Aifinyo joined as a co-host and has actively supported the format ever since. The first Dresden.rb meetup took place in November 2024. Since then, we’ve held five events, each with 15 to 20 participants. A steadily growing community now comes together regularly to hear talks, share experiences, and stay engaged with the Ruby stack.
