I'm pretty sure some parts of the Open Street Map stack are written in Rails. I don't know which parts, nor if it's actually legally a not-for-profit or not. Harry Wood or Shaun McDonald can probably clear it up though.<br>

I entered the Ruby world in 2007 at The Sainsbury Laboratory, placed by the John Innes Centre, both non-profit as far as I know (at least the Sainsbury Lab was at that time). They are close to Cambridgeshire (in Norwich) and they perform research in plant related projects, including some (plant) genome research. In my specific project, they were processing DNA sequences of the Chlamydomonas algae and we built the front end and engine to manage that data in RoR.<br>
<br>I'm not sure whether they have continued using Ruby because, as you have already mentioned, the bioinformatics world is heavily dominated by Perl and especially Bioperl, for which as far as I know there is no replacement in any Ruby framework. I guess you'll need to find non-profits outside the bioresearch world.<br>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I work at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridgeshire, a charity funded organization that performs genome research. I was curious about what other not-for-profit organizations use Ruby for their development needs?</p>
<p>I know that Nature Publishing use Ruby, but I'm not sure they're a not-for-profit.</p>
<p>Thanks</p><span><font color="#888888">
