- Where: Washington, D.C.
- When: Fall, '08 (Date TBA, likely early October)
- What: An Open Space event for Rubyists from all over -- inverting the trend in the Ruby community of speaker-audience conferences

Description
Up until Ruby DCamp, Ruby conferences have followed the traditional speaker-audience model. However, the Ruby community is made up of a great number of early adopters: extremely bright, talented, and entrepreneurial individuals who are capable of being more than a passive audience. Therefore Ruby DCamp seeks to enable these individuals to enrich themselves and one another in the best way possible: by providing an Open Space event where they can decide what matters to them collectively and to act upon those interests.
