RubyConf2006 Retrospective

Bil Kleb

10/24/2006 8:10:00 PM

Hi,

To learn from RubyConf06, I am assuming the role
of "independent third party" to aggregate comments
about what should

a) stop
b) continue
c) start

for next year's conference. Please try to include
the "why" and bear in mind Kerth's Prime Directive
for retrospectives,

Regardless of what we discover, we must understand
and truly believe that everyone did the best job
s/he could, given what was known at the time, his
or her skills and abilities, the resources available,
and the situation at hand.

*Please send comments offline* to

mailto:Bil.Kleb@NASA.gov?subject=RubyConf06

to avoid violating the premises of Surowiekcki's
/The Wisdom of Crowds/, and I'll post a summary,
complete with /anonymized/ individual responses.

Thanks,
--

P.S.: You know, the Norfolk, Virginia area would be a *wonderful* place
for RubyConf 2007!

Hey! Virginia already had a RubyConf.

Time for New York City, or (to make this actually international) Toronto.


Not that I want to encourage rampant speculation or debate on the next
location.

Thanks, but I'm still waiting on the offlist and "why?"
part of the original request...
