About ARC

African Ruby Community (ARC) was founded in 2010. Today, our reach extends to over 5,000 members across East Africa—bringing together developers, entrepreneurs, designers, and freelancers.

We focus on open-source Ruby technologies that empower startups to build fast and innovate early. Through weekly and monthly meetups alongside our annual Ruby Conference, we bridge the gap between education and industry.

We believe in a holistic approach: combining entrepreneurship, a solution-oriented mindset, and open source to solve real-world challenges while inspiring developers to reach their full potential.
