It looks like Ruby will be a part of the O’Reilly Open Source Convention  
in Portland in June 2003 … the call for papers is here:  
[http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/os2003/create/e\_sess](http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/os2003/create/e_sess)

Here’s the relevant bit:  
Ruby

- Introductions to aspects of Ruby for people unfamiliar with the  
language
- Power user talks for experienced Ruby programmers

Time to start writing proposals for presentations eh?
