Ruby in Australia

Hi, all…

I have talked with two or three Rubyists in Australia –
principally Melbourne I think – and I am wondering
how active things are over there?

Is there an Australia-wide Ruby conference perhaps?
Or might there be later?

Hey Hal,

Ruby is alive and well over here :slight_smile: We have a very vibrant collection
of
folks in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra and Perth too.

We usually meet up in our respective cities and afaik there’s not been
plans
for a ruby conf here.

Not that the thought hasn’t crossed my mind, but it’s quite a long way
for
visitors from other countries to attend. I’d personally love to see an
australian ruby conf go down. There’s a lot of talent over here, and
a
lot of passionate people involved in the community.

I’ve included the ROR oceania group on this reply so more people will
see
this email.

Cheers
Daniel

That’s why we want you to host one. It gives us an excellent excuse
to make that trip. :wink:

Well in that case I don’t see how we can’t have one! Most of the
chatter
about this is seeming to happen in IRC atm on #roro but I’ll talk to a
few
more peeps :slight_smile:
