It’s on! Matz is on stage, everyone’s in their seats, Euruko has begun. Just like always, and it feels like it will always be this way. We are all ears.

Another thing we’re bringing to Euruko is our Bingo game 🎉
We did it at Rails World, and now it’s back — updated and reimagined for Euruko!

You can already check it out on our website, but we’ll also announce everything officially from the stage.

One of the things we’d love to do at Euruko is bring together all the Ruby community organizers for a casual meetup.
Let’s just have lunch, share updates, and spend some time together!

We’d be really happy to see everyone there.

My passport photo ended up as a tribute to Mr. Bean. Now I look almost exactly like him there.

We truly believe there’s so much untapped value when communities and businesses collaborate — from brand awareness and developer-facing product promotion to team education and reputation-building.

Let’s talk.

Baltic Ruby @balticruby.bsky.social · Sep 5

We’d especially love to hear from local companies and agencies who may be only starting to explore ways to show up.
We’re here to help you take that step — and we’d love to understand what kind of support you might need from us.

If this resonates, please share this post within your network.

Help us share!

Open source is a big part of what Baltic Ruby values and supports.

That’s why it was so exciting to have Marty Haught join us as our third keynote speaker. You can watch his talk here: youtu.be/9S6l_RZwuxM
Thanks, Marty!

This year, Baltic Ruby is supported by a new patron.
Rubyness builds secure, user-focused digital solutions that power both governments and businesses, and also invest a lot in supporting Ruby community. Together we will achieve even more.

One of the updates we brought to Rails World is the opening of our CFP.
That’s no coincidence — this year, we’re putting a special focus on @rails in our lineup.
So if you’ve got a talk you’d love to share with the community, we’d love to hear from you.

I’m especially glad we got the chance to host Tim. It means a lot for us as a conference, for Hanami, and for everything Tim is building.
Thank you for being part of the show in Riga.

I owe @typesense. But great products shouldn’t suffer from my short memory :)
Here's why they are so cool: shorturl.at/Pgbkt
Or maybe because it’s open source: shorturl.at/RNdGs
Or because they’re Top-3 Ruby community supporter: shorturl.at/crKWf
What you think?

The website update didn’t stop at the homepage.
All the talks from Riga are now live on our cozy little YouTube channel — feel free to binge them all there.
But we’ll also be posting them here one by one, so no one misses a thing.

It’s week 3 of our sponsorship drive! This week we have a field report from Riga and the rooftop! Podcasts, conferences, OSS expos, a new talk, and the beginnings of JRuby support: it’s been a busy time!

Conference is a gamble. You never know how it will turn out, and it takes a bit of luck for everything to come together.
And we were lucky! With the speakers, the sponsors, the participants, and everyone who helped.
I want to say thank you for that. It’s all you!
See you in 2026!
