Hello everyone,
the past weekend, Bodo, Lucas, Tobi and I participated in the 2012 Rails Rumble. We decided to write a geocoder based on OpenStreetMap data, since Google likes to change their terms of service from time to time and can start charging you if you exceed a certain number of requests and since the geocoders that are currently out there sort of suck for Germany.
And here is the result: happy-geoco.de! Please vote for us :)
Dieses Wochenende fand in Köln der erste Rails Girls Workshop statt. 70 Mädels und Frauen, von der Schülerin bis zur Sekretärin, die Programmieren lernen wollen und 20 Coaches, die ihnen dabei helfen wollen, und zwei großartige Organisatorinnen, die sich in den letzten Wochen einen riesen Stress gemacht haben, um dieses Event auf die Beine zu stellen. Aber fangen wir vorne an.
This is my first blog post with the new blogging engine. Wordpress sucks, so here is the new thing. It’s just markdown and syntax highlighting … That’s all I need.
Hint: To move my other blog posts here I had to do a little rebasing … :D So this post automagically moved a little bit further to the past :D
