Re: Potential Brit ruby meeting formally Chunky Bacon

Apologies, I’m a n00b.

At least people are more aware that there is stuff going on, for
instance I’m going along to a meeting in manchester which should be fun!

And apologies again as I’m not a Brit, and likely won’t be able to come
to a UK RubyConf no matter how much I’d like to.

Britain tends to end up as part of the European Ruby scene right now
(which is no bad thing). Euruko is next weekend in Germany, and is dirt
cheap (and might still be taking places if you fancy a jaunt east);
RailsConf Europe was in London six/seven weeks ago (but RailsConf Europe
2007 will be in Germany).

There’s no reason not to try to put together a nice little regional
conference
though, maybe just a Saturday get together with the various extant Ruby
brigades. Who knows, you might have som much fun you want to do it
more often. (And maybe you’ll be able to gather in a few of the lost
Rubyists
who don’t know what other great Ruby stuff is happening in the UK.)

I’ve been going to the Scotland ruby group, which has been running for a
few months now. Probably some people who would be interested in a
conference in the UK from that.

That’s GeekUp which is a mixture of geeks, PHP, and Ruby guys. Quite
a bunch of so do Ruby, but it’s not dedicated 100%. No bad thing, IMHO.

See you there, I’m the 6’ tall bald guy in his late twenties. :slight_smile:
