The philosophy of RuPy is to put togheter Python & Ruby experts with young programmers and to support a good communication channel for East-West exchange of prospective ideas.

The idea behind the conference is to try to animate central- and east-european Python and Ruby communities. By inviting experts we want to broaden our knowledge and undersanding of presented concepts. The conference is meant to serve the exchange of ideas on the scientific ground, that is use of mentioned languages for certain scientific problems like, for example, text parsing, and on the buisness ground, like use of Django or Rails for creating web applications.

The third edition of the conference will take place in November in Poznań, Poland.
