2014 Ruby Hero Award Nominations

Posted by Gregg Pollack on 12 Feb 2014

Has anyone helped you greatly in the Ruby community this past year? Maybe they taught you something, wrote a gem, or gave you some tech support? If anyone comes to mind, then please take the time to nominate them for a Ruby Hero Award.

In the past 6 years I’ve given away 38 trophies to those in our community who don’t get the recognition they deserve. In three weeks, the Ruby Heroes from all previous years will look at the nominations and decide who should receive the awards (this way there’s no popularity contest). However, your nominations do matter, so please take a moment and spread the gratitude. Vote today!
