Toronto Ruby Users Group Hackathon Tomorrow

The Toronto Ruby User’s Group is having its first Hackathon tomorrow at the Tucows offices. Tomorrow’s goal is to implement the functionality of libarchive and libtar as both a pure-Ruby version and as Ruby/C bindings to the libarchive and libtar libraries.

The hackathon will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Tucows offices (96 Mowat Avenue, near the corner of King and Dufferin). Ruby local hero Austin Ziegler will provide the pizza; Yours Truly is the Tucows host. If you’d like to participate, sign up on the wiki!
