I am not at Rails World, and I have huge FOMO at home. I look at almost all the people going there and already have a great time even before the conference starts.
Enjoy the conference and make some new friends!
With this occasion, I'd like to invite you all to share/post online what you are learning during the conference. It would be good for the community to post live updates on social media during all conferences.
Here’s the structure of a good social media post:
- Take a screenshot of a slide, ensuring the speaker is included.
- Highlight the most important idea the speaker mentioned
- Add your own thoughts about it.
- Publish the post, then reply with the next interesting point from the presentation.
In case you want to see some examples, I did something like this from my own account during EuRuKo (see a list of posts here) and did the same from the Friendlyrb account on Twitter and Mastodon during Friendly.rb conference.
I got very good feedback about doing this kind of live posting.
I know that usually all videos and slides are posted online, but creating a buzz during the conference and sharing the ideas that YOU find interesting is also a significant contribution.
It helps show how active our community is and how many ideas are shared.
Later on, the series of posts you shared could be transformed into a blog post about how it was at that conference, and in the process, you will get the side effect of doing a recap of what you learned from that experience.
Happy #RailsWorld!
