There will be no encore.

RubyFringe is Dead. But hey — we bore easily!

For months we’ve been shuffling around Unspace HQ in our proverbial togas contemplating life after RubyFringe — the insights gathered in running a successful conference, what’s been created in its wake, and what still remains suspiciously absent on the conference circuit. We certainly don’t need another self-congratulatory party — and therein we saw a more important avenue that currently commands our attention.

Today, we’ll simply implore you to run a black strike through your calendars for the weekend of July 9-12th. The past month we’ve wrestled with idealistic conundrums:

• brainstorming how to get a second helping of high-caliber eccentrics on a single stage
• asking the timeless question of “will this team-building exercise make the Rubyists cry?”
• starting to fortify the yacht club against unfortunate frogmen attacks during FAILCamp

It’s all part of the process. Expect further details to be liberated from red tape here on February 5th.
