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](http://rubymanor.org)  
and let us know.

Thanks!
