[OSM-dev] Ruby developers in Amsterdam

[Martijn van Exel]

Hi dev,

I've been given the opportunity to give a talk during a gathering of  
Ruby developers in Amsterdam[1] next month.
I want to present them with a general high level introduction of OSM  
and then make the link to Ruby by explaining a bit about the Rails  
part of the OSM infrastructure.
Problem is - I'm not a Ruby developer myself and I don't know much  
about this part of the OSM infrastructure.

I have looked at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Rails briefly, but  
it's mostly installation instructions. Is there another source  
explaining the architecture of the Rails port? Preferably with a  
diagram or such.

Any pointers welcome :)

The goal of the talk will be to interest the (Amsterdam) Ruby  
community in OSM in general, but also in becoming involved in OSM  
Rails development. Is that helpful?
Martijn
