[ANN] One day Ruby event in London, later this year. Interested?

Hi all,

We're thinking about putting a one-day Ruby event in London, later
this year. We want to try putting together an event, but organise it a
bit differently to regular conferences. In a nutshell:

* It should be cheap enough that you can pay for it from your own
pocket without feeling bad
* It should be organised completely transparently, with the
attendees deciding who'd talk and having a pretty good idea what
they're going to cover
* Any presentations should be relevant to the attendees, not self-
indulgent war stories or anecdotes with little value beyond a vaguely
warm fuzzy feeling.

Will it work? Who knows. To a large extent, it's entirely up to you.

But before we get into any of that, we'd like to know if it's
something you'd be interested in. Please visit http://rub...
and let us know.

Thanks!

It's definitely possible. I helped to organize with another
Vancouver.rb fellow a free (!) one-day Ruby (and Rails) (un)conference
in January in Vancouver, B.C on the West Coast in Canada in the
Americas and we will be back with in 2009! More @

Cheers.

Me, I imagine places that I have never seen / The colored lights in
fountains, blue and green / And I imagine places that I will never go
/ Behind these clouds that hang here dark and low
But it's there when I'm holding you / There when I'm sleeping too /
There when there's nothing left of me / Hanging out behind the
burned-out factories / Out of reach but leading me / Into the
beautiful sea
