Rubinius

The Rubinius Team is a group of people who work together, influenced by our values, to accomplish things that fulfill the Rubinius vision and mission. Our vision is a world where Ruby is the most useful programming language for building things that improve people's well-being and quality of life. "Most useful" means the most benefit for the least a... mount of effort for the greatest number of people. There will always be incredibly smart people who do very difficult things. For the rest of us, to steal a quote by Moshe Feldenkrais, we want to "make the impossible possible, the hard easy, and the easy elegant". Our mission is to build the best Ruby implementation and the best programming tools that benefit the greatest number of people, prioritizing our efforts to improve access for people who have been marginalized and excluded. We value impact, quality, inclusiveness, diversity and balance, and we actively promote them. We celebrate our differences and appreciate them as a source of strength. We prioritize improving access and championing the needs of people who have traditionally been excluded. We get things done, lead by example and we constantly strive to improve. We realize that we enjoy a lot of privilege and we work hard to empower others rather than advancing our own interests. We welcome anyone who shares our vision, mission and values to be a part of the Rubinius Team. And one of our objectives will be growing the team. There are many roles to play. From outreach to industry, academia, and communities like Women Who Code and Black Girls Code to marketing, budgeting, and planning. From documentation to organizing meetups. There are many ideas we don't even know about yet, and are waiting for you to create.Read More
