  • Where: Holiday Inn, http://www.hiarlington.com, 4610 N. Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22203, 703-243-9800
  • When: October 10-12, 2008 (Friday evening is registration and socializing, optional)
  • What: An Open Space event for Rubyists from all over -- inverting the trend in the Ruby community of speaker-audience conferences
  • Who: YOU and ~150 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

Registration costs $100. If you'd like to help defray the costs, please consider a bronze sponsorship registration at $250.
