summary

Announces the Ruby Heroes process: public nominations, a shortlisting by prior winners and six awards decided from 465 nominations. Highlights concrete contributions: work on RVM 1.0, libraries like CarrierWave and Capybara, documentation tooling YARD and RubyDoc.info, upkeep of Hackety Hack and Rails space examples, and Michael Hartl’s Rails Tutorial released free. Describes educational experiments that scale—Rails 3 screencasts ~15,000 views, Rails for Zombies with 42,000 sign-ups and ~9,000 course completions—and releases a Code School screencasting framework.
