On Tuesday, I was lucky enough to participate in RedSnake 2011 — an event that included Philadelphia’s Ruby and Python user groups. Approximately 70 local developers and system administrations gathered to hear 11 lightning talks covering a wide range of topics:

Ruby

• Ruby Version Manager
• Compass
• Meta Programming
• Cucumber
• Foreign Function Interface

Python

• virtualenv
• IPython
• Multiprocessing
• System Administration
• Interfacing to C
• Zen of Python

Code that generated the slides that accompanied my presentation on RVM can be found here. I’m planning to update this post with links to other presentations as they become available. Also, Trevor Lalish Menagh was kind enough to take notes.
