More on Regional Ruby Conferences

Mar 22, 2007 By Pat Eyler

The 2007 MountainWest RubyConf (MWRC) has come and gone, leaving only pictures, memories, and a promise of videos to come. Of course, this isn't the end of regional Ruby conferences in 2007. The Gotham Ruby Conference (GoRuCo), and SDForum are both coming up in April, while the Michigan Ruby Conference, and the 2007 Ruby Hoedown both look like great opportunities to mingle with Rubyists.

Coverage of the 2007 MWRC has been fairly comprehensive. Here's what some folks are saying:

I really enjoyed the Mountain West Ruby Conference in Salt Lake City this past Friday & Saturday. There was a great mix of uber geeks, web developers and language enthusiasts all in attendance. — Duane Johnson
I am out at MountainWest RubyConf and so far, it's been a great time. . . . The talks have been great, the conversations even better, and we even have wifi + power! — Gregory Brown
The second day of MWRC has passed, and I$-1òùm sad to see the conference end. It was really a great time, preserving the feel of RubyConf while having a local flare to it. — Gregory Brown
Got back from Mountain West RubyConf (MWRC) Saturday night. It was quite a fun rubyconf. The talks were by and large good, and there was lots of socializing (ie. networking), which is always one of the biggest reasons I go to conferences. — Evan Phoenix

If you didn't make it out to the 2007 MWRC (and if you live in the Mountain West, why not?) you owe it to yourself to make plans for next year.

There was a great mix of uber geeks, web developers and language enthusiasts all in attendance. My favorite talk, however, was certainly the keynote by Chad Fowler.

I just got back from Austin RubyConf and it was a great rubyconf. The speakers were good, and there was lots of socializing, which is the biggest reasons I go to conferences.

I really wonder when one of these will come to my country, India. The city I live has just one Linux Center that is certified. Rest are all not reliable. Guess, it is wait and watch.
