- Where: Washington, D.C. (Venue TBD however decision pending week of 8/11)
- 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
- Who: YOU and ~200 other Rubyists! Brought to you by a few intrepid Rubyists and gracious sponsors
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.
Registration
We are trying to keep the registration fee down to $50. We will be using some sort of online event registration system (TBD).
