Are other Ruby Conferences planned for this year? 2. If so, would they likely be in different geographic locations? Thanks. James Edward G. II ---

If so, would they likely be in different geographic locations? RubyConf will be somewhere in the middle two U.S. time zones, and RailsConf will be in Chicago in June ([http://www.railsconf.org](http://www.railsconf.org)). The Silicon Valley conference is a sort of “regional-plus” event. SDForum is interested in developing the local/regional Ruby and Rails development communities; they invited Ruby Central to get involved in order to expand the wider representation in speakers and attendees.
