RubyFringe is shaping up to be a pretty kick-ass event. Besides tons of great speakers (present company excluded), they are having all-inclusive parties every night, and no lame sponsors to dilute the signal to noise ratio. Keeping attendance capped at 150 also ensures awesomeness, because everyone will get a chance to meet everyone else.
It’s also the only conference out there that I know of that has activities for your non-technical girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband/whatever. That is such a great idea.
July 18-20 in Toronto, Ontario (aka Accordion City). Registration ends June 11. Get on it.

When Pete Forde of Unspace asked me if I wanted to be a part of the RubyFringe conference he and his company are putting on, I jumped at the chance. RubyFringe is a single-track conference without any of the BS (including no sponsors and plenty of food and drink included).
It’s what punk rock would be if instead of rockers, they were programmers and instead of bitching about any show that costs more than $10, they could afford $700 conferences. (You can read more about the thinking behind RubyFringe at Unspace’s blog.)
Just take a look at the speaker list and be amazed. I’m humbled to be in that company (and I’m proud to say that RUM has three people represented: myself, Dan Grigsby, and Nick Sieger).
RubyFringe is happening in Toronto July 18-20 and attendance is capped at 150. Registration opens today.
