Edito

This week I left my job at Faria and I joined Gandi Asia, as a devops again. The consequence is that I'm flying to Paris next week for one month. I wonder if I will be able to feed up Greenruby links curation as regularly as usual. That may be challenging. In the while, check out the Rails Rumble Winners for this year, there is some cool things.
