+Title: The Debian Ruby team meets in Paris for a sprint

+Status: draft
+
+The Debian Ruby [Ruby team](https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Ruby) had a first
+sprint in 2014. The experience was very positive, and it was decided to do it
+again in 2015. Last April, the team once more met at the
+[IRILL](http://www.irill.org/) offices, in Paris, France.
+
+The participants worked to improve the quality Ruby packages in Debian,
+including fixing release critical and security bugs, improving metadata and
+packaging code, and triaging test failures on the [Debian Continuous
+Integration](https://ci.debian.net/) service.
+
+The sprint also served to prepare the team infrastructure for the future Debian
+9 release:
+
+- the `gem2deb` packaging helper to improve the semi-automated generation of
+  Debian source packages from existing standard-compliant Ruby packages from
+  [Rubygems](https://rubygems.org/).
+
+- there was also an effort to prepare the switch to Ruby 2.2, the latest stable
+  release of the Ruby language which was released after the Debian testing
+  suite was already frozen for the Debian 8 release.

+A full report with technical details has been
+[posted](https://lists.debian.org/debian-ruby/2015/05/msg00024.html) to the
+relevant Debian mailing lists.
