FutureRuby is all of us
posted by pete on July 12th, 2009
I’m pleased to say that FutureRuby has been a huge success, however you want to measure it. There has been several running themes: programming Ruby, programming life, programming ourselves… We iterate through failure to find success, happiness, and in some cases, anarchy.
Thanks once again to Kieran Huggins for taking this shot. A high-res, non-animated version is here on Flickr.
Thank you to Meghann Millard, our conference director, for connecting all of the dots. I am indebted to all of the speakers for sharing their knowledge, and I sincerely appreciate the tireless efforts of all of our volunteers.
It’s pretty clear that people who understand why it’s important to participate in an event like FutureRuby are amongst the most interesting, eloquent, and in some cases wildly eccentric people walking the earth today. The next time you’re at a tech event and the crowd spontaneously breaks into a hissing, clapping, Gregorian fit… I hope that history remembers that it all started at FutureRuby.
To the future!

Many many thanks to all the people at unspace & volunteers that went way above & beyond the call of duty to make this one of the best events I’ve ever attended. The care, passion & attention to detail that went into the whole weekend really paid off.
Also thanks to everybody I met & made me feel welcome! I do feel like I’ve made some true friends & welcome any one of you to look me up if you should find yourself in NYC.

sad to say I didn’t make it the 1.5 hour drive south to #future_ruby – by all accounts looks like a great event. Congrats Pete.
hoping this will be a regular event, and will see y’all next iteration
