Hey all! I wasn't sure if we'd ever announced JRubyConf in ruby-talk, so I figured I might as well do so. It's going to be in about 2.5 weeks, August 3-5 in Washington, D.C. We've got a beautiful venue and a whisky event planned on top of a really excellent set of speakers, so it should be a great event. And it's only $199, thanks to support from Engine Yard and EdgeCase. I've blogged a bit about the past year for JRuby and categorized/summarized the talks we've got lined up so far. http://www.engineyard.com/blog/2011/jrubyconf-2011/ Even if you're not a JRubyist, we'd really love to see you there. You might learn a few tricks, and maybe end up building your own JRuby-based app. Or you might just have fun seeing what other folks are doing with JRuby. Either way, you should come on out!
