50 Percent wants to document how much women* are misrepresented as speakers at conferences, on panels, in talkshows and many other public events. At each event we count male and female speakers and publish the percentage of each - with your help!
It is a Rails application maintained by the rubymonstas.

Time to open your Terminal! 👩💻
- Clone the project
git clone [email protected]:rubymonsters/fiftypercent.git - Switch to the project folder
cd fiftypercent - Create your own database file
cp config/database_example.yml config/database.yml - Install Postgres for the database following their guide for your operating system
- If necessary, set up a new user as described in this guide:
sudo su - postgres # log in with the postgres user psql # enter the Postgres database CREATE ROLE yourusername; # create a new user ALTER ROLE yourusername WITH LOGIN CREATEDB; # give necessary rights to database user - Make sure you have the correct Ruby version installed. We recommend Ruby Version Manager (RVM) (you can also use rbenv, but setup is more difficult). Also best uninstall any Ruby installation from your operating system as it might conflict. Run these commands to install RVM and switch to Ruby 2.4.2 which we use:
gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3 7D2BAF1CF37B13E2069D6956105BD0E739499BDB \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable rvm install "ruby-2.4.2" - Install bundler
gem install bundler - Install dependencies using
bundle install - Create the database
rake db:create rake db:migrate - Start the server with
rails s - Open your browser and go to http://0.0.0.0:3000
