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://rubymanor.org and let us know. Thanks! James Adam Murray Steele
