I hear (http://ubuntuserver.wordpress.com/2008/07/07/how-to-improve-the-ruby-on-rails-experience-for-next-ubuntu-release/) that Ubuntu Server is looking to improve its Rails experience. As it happens I've been coming at the same problem from the opposite direction.
At Brightbox (www.brightbox.co.uk) we do Ruby on Rails with Ubuntu on virtualised servers for a living and we have a few projects on going. - Improve the packaging of Ubuntu Ruby, Rails and supporting infrastructure to make it easier for our customers to select the framework technology they want to use. - Packaging of tools to help development and deployment of Rails applications. - Reworking our virtualisation stack from the current Xen based system to one based upon the 'official' Ubuntu KVM system. As we're free software nuts at Brightbox, we'd like to feed our Rails experience back into Ubuntu Server and hopefully get a bit of a guide from the team as to where we should be going with our virtualisation stack. If that is something of interest, let me know. (I've already put my thoughts on the Rails specification and I have tried to contact the Blueprint/specification owner without success so far. Obviously I'm not 100% au-fait with Ubuntu-server processes). -- Neil Wilson Brightbox -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
