Top ones for me are GitLab and CASA from Ruby For Good for new contributors, but it's been a while. (and RubyEvents too obviously.)
I guess it depends on how you define best organized/run. Does that mean maintenance issues are handled quickly, easy for maintainers, or easy for contributors?

After an intense pairing session over lunch and dinner (and a great deal of excitement on my part) we had a working PR to build RubyLLM tools out of custom Rails generators!!! ✨

I spent a lot of time and effort building custom generators for RubyEvents event data only to have AI ignore them in favor of MCP tools and direct editing.
I started to think about turning my generators into MCP tools. Carefully wrapping each one and invoking it.

Content update for the RubyEvents meetup guide! I’ve added some hard-earned lessons from meetup organizers for you to adapt.
Turns out a good meetup is about so much more than just finding a room and putting someone on a stage.

Have you tried making a GitHub view yet? @marcoroth.dev showed me this: docs.github.com/en/issues/pl...
It's for issues, but I made a custom view for reviewing RubyEvents PRs!
github.com/rubyevents/r...
It shows me all the open PRs made in the last 4 weeks that weren't authored by a maintainer! 😍

That’s what RubyEvents Guides is.
The guides are based on more than a dozen interviews with experienced conference organizers.
They collect practical hints, tools, resources, and long-form advice you can work through at your own pace.

RubyEvents Guides is now live.
Over the last few months, I talked to Rubyists who want to help the community keep going.
Some want to restart a local meetup. Some are organizing their first small conference. Some already run events and want to make the next one better.

That page takes a while to load with all the iframes though so I'd actually prefer to link to RubyEvents if all talks are there, but that's not reasonable since there are also talks at non-Ruby conferences. Could do a mixed approach with linking to RubyEvents and list the few extra talks directly.
