I had the great privilege last night to do a presentation on Ruote at the third monthly Ruby on Beer meetup here in Gauteng. It ended up taking 35 minutes, not 20 as intended, but I think I got something across to the guys.
Ruote (and BPM in general) isn’t a light topic, but it is a game changer if you use it correctly. We use it here at inX to drive all our background provisioning of services (domains, hosting, emails, internet connectivity, etc) with great success. Attempting to do all those tasks with a state machine would have been futile.
Andrew Timberlake was kind enough to record a video of the presentation, I’ve published the video on this blog.
I’ll also start posting more on Ruote, as my involvement with the project grows. In the meantime, have a look at the following resources to get started:
- Ruote website
- Ruote mailing list
- #ruote on Freenode
- John Mettraux’s blog
