Fair enough. I took it out of my own primary account so that it would be less totally owned by me if&when some potential contributors get started on it.
What I do is to sometimes take a 'sanity day' to sit at home or in a library and get some serious work done. 9-5 (or whatever) just like work. You even get to sleep in instead of commuting. I realize that this is partially because I've been lucky to have jobs where taking one day won't be a vacation/sick-day disaster-overreach.
On https://www.hackerschool.com/faq they say
"International applicants
I'm not a US citizen. Can I do Hacker School?
Yes, assuming you can legally be in New York for the entirety of the batch (just under three months). We don't pay you, and we're not an official academic institution, so you shouldn't need a work or student visa. We've had people come from more than 25 countries to do Hacker School."
Is this the best way to auto-deploy a gem to rubygems? Can TravisCI do this? What are people using, if they're not using manual triggering from a desktop or something? What do major gems like rspec, etc use? (or how can I find out?)
