I’m pleased to say that FutureRuby has been a huge success, however you want to measure it. There has been several running themes: programming Ruby, programming life, programming ourselves… We iterate through failure to find success, happiness, and in some cases, anarchy.
Thanks once again to Kieran Huggins for taking this shot. A high-res, non-animated version is here on Flickr.
Thank you to Meghann Millard, our conference director, for connecting all of the dots. I am indebted to all of the speakers for sharing their knowledge, and I sincerely appreciate the tireless efforts of all of our volunteers.
It’s pretty clear that people who understand why it’s important to participate in an event like FutureRuby are amongst the most interesting, eloquent, and in some cases wildly eccentric people walking the earth today. The next time you’re at a tech event and the crowd spontaneously breaks into a hissing, clapping, Gregorian fit… I hope that history remembers that it all started at FutureRuby.
To the future!
