Blue Box Group to Sponsor Rails BugMash!

Posted by Nathan Kaiser on Mon Sep 21 17:10:00 UTC 2009


Update! Locations are helpful! We’re hosting this at our new Seattle offices: 206 1st. Ave South, Suite 300, Seattle, WA 98104. During the weekends, the building is secured, so you’ll need to use your cell phone to call up to the offices when you arrive. We’ll have the number available on the sign and on this site this afternoon.

At Blue Box Group, we are all Ruby Hackers, and most of us got our start with Rails. So it is with great excitement that we announce sponsorship of the second Rails Bug Mash! If you are not aware, it’s September 26-27, 2009, and a great way to get involved in the Rails community.

We will have our offices open 11 AM – 11 PM Saturday and 10 AM – 5 PM Sunday. We will have wifi, desks, pizza and caffeine. So feel free to drop on by, and say ‘Hi’, or lend a hand!

If you plan on hanging out with us, please do RSVP. Just use our contact form to drop us a line to let us know.

We are also going to have a 1TB Apple Time Capsule drop shipped to 1 lucky prize winner! (Prizes determined by RailsBridge). So, start up your mad bug mashing skills, and come on down!

About BugMash:

The idea is simple: RailsBridge has a lot of energy. The Rails Lighthouse has a lot of open tickets. With the help of some Rails Core team members, we’re going to see what we can do to cut down the number of open tickets, encourage more people to get involved with the Rails source, and have some fun.

About RailsBridge:

RailsBridge was formed with the goal “To create an inclusive and friendly Ruby on Rails community”. They have succeeded with projects like RailsBridge Mentors and the Builders network.
