RubyFringe: Us: The Sex Pistols. Them: Kenny G.
Monday, February 18th, 2008I’ll be speaking at RubyFringe in July.
Billed as the “avant-garde conference for developers that are excited about emerging technologies outside of the Ruby on Rails monoculture,” the conference looks superb. Pick an emerging Ruby-based technology and one of its leaders — in many cases, its outright creator — is presenting.
I’m honored to be speaking. I’ve already started preparing, just to make sure I pass the muster.
It’s impossible to predict when one of those sublime moments will occur, when a group of really smart people gather and something unexpected and new develops (e.g., the Cluetrain Manifesto, the Agile Manifesto), but RubyFringe has the odds on its side.
RubyForge is being put on by Unspace, the people behind HAML and make_resourceful.
Details: July 18-20. Toronto, ON. Registration opened today. Attendance is capped at 150. The price is a reasonable C$650 for the first 75 people, a still-reasonable C$700 thereafter.
