Abstract
The Great Eastern Japan Earthquake on March 11th caused devastating impact across Japan. However, there were numerous efforts amongst Japanese hackers to help the disaster hit areas. Throughout this talk, I will explain what kind of activities occurred right after the earthquake, and will discuss what we can do as Rubyists to help the people affected by the disaster. The talk will be done in English.
