The 2013 Ruby Hero Awards
Posted by James Edward Gray II on 15 Feb 2013
The Ruby Hero Awards are now accepting nominations and we need your help to find people in our community who thanklessly help others and perhaps don’t get the recognition they deserve. This could be someone who contributes to ruby open source software you’ve found useful in the past year, could be an educator, or maybe someone who’s helped organize Ruby events.
If you have a minute please take a moment to nominate someone by heading over to RubyHeroes.com, typing in the GitHub username of the person you wish to nominate, and giving us a reason why they deserve to win. About a month from now all the previous year’s Ruby Heroes will help decide who will win this year’s 6 awards which will be presented to the heroes live on stage at Railsconf at the end of April.
