RubyConf 2002

I can’t resist the urge to hype this a little.

We’re only seven weeks away from the 2nd annual
Ruby Conference (Nov 1-3, Seattle, WA).

Personally, I’m excited about it.

If you were there at the groundbreaking
conference last year, the first of its
kind, you know what a positive high-energy
experience it was.

It was great to meet Matz in person, and he
will be there again this year. So will Dave
Thomas, Andy Hunt, Lyle Johnson, Nathaniel
Talbott, and many others.

There’s a tentative agenda in place now, and
it looks promising.

I urge everyone who reads this to attend.
When you get that many Rubyists in one place,
only good things can happen.

Bring a friend. Bring your boss. Get your
company to pay for it. :slight_smile:

Go to http://www.rubyconf.com/ now and register.
It’ll be extreme.

I agree, this is going to be very cool!

I missed the first one, and don’t want to make that mistake again!

I’m only waiting to see if i’m going to be employed, then to see if my
new employer (hopefully) will pay for it …

I’m looking forward to it!

Thanks Hal, I just registered! I’m looking forward to meeting all of these
people with whom I have been conversing.

Hmm…perhaps next year it should be on the East coast? :slight_smile:

BTW, is the Steve Gibson speaking the same as www.grc.com? (and
www.grcsucks.com :slight_smile:

Last year was on the east coast…well in Florida which is kind of the
east coast :wink: Really, the conference is where it is because that is
where OOPSLA (http://oopsla.acm.org/) is being held (right after
RubyConf 2002). The Ruby conference preceeds OOPSLA because we are
ahead of those other langauges :wink:

I for one am really looking forward to this year. Lots of stuff to show
and talk about…the best part of last year was (like this list) all the
people…what a great crowd!

I am on the docket to present the state of the FreeRIDE project
(www.rubyide.org). The FreeRIDE team is going into overtime to get
something worthy of this community by the conference (wish us luck :slight_smile:

I hope as many people as possible make a effort to attend…it will not
be a disappointment.

Regards,

Rich

East coast of what country? :slight_smile:

I believe that the conference tries to tag along with OOPSLA to help attract
folks who can’t afford multiple trips.

Ah, I see. I wonder if this is planning on heading over to the Boston
area at some point? I guess I’ll have to wait and see :slight_smile:

How about LL2 held a week later at MIT? Perhaps I will be there too.

This sounds pretty interesting! I can’t seem to find any information
about this year’s workshop though…there’s a lot of information about
last year’s workshop at ll1.mit.edu – is there any more information
about ll2 online?

ll1.mit.edu must have contained information about LL2. Not confirmed.
I don’t have web access right now.

There’s nothing online yet, but there should be soon. (The CPF will
go out in the next week or so) I’ll send an announcement when we’ve
got it going.
