Bringing closer Debian and Rails

Bridging apparently incompatible cultures

Ruby on Rails has become a very popular framework for Web-based applications. And, even though Rails itself is neatly packaged and integrated in Debian, supporting Rails applications (specially in a large-scale provider) can prove rather difficult. Besides the core application, we face problems such as handling plugins, concurrent versions, and the like. In this BoF session we will try and study the different problems we face, and come up with adequate solutions. I'm only familiar with Ruby on Rails - but it might be interesting to have the opinion of people working with other similar-minded frameworks.
