RubyFringe is an avant-garde conference for developers that are excited about emerging Ruby projects and technologies. We're mounting a unique and eccentric gathering of the people and projects that are driving things forward in our community.
Us: The Sex Pistols
Them: Kenny G
We are the RubyFringe.
RubyFringe is a single-track indie conference with no paid technical sponsors and a target attendance of 150.
Check out our amazing speakers.

NEW TEASERS
John runs Ruby off the rails, Luke tells us why testing is overrated, and Zed brings the porn. Check it out!
SUCH A TEASE
We've launched a 'Talks' page, which will be updated with digest
abstracts until the final schedule is posted. Many of the speakers are actively soliciting
talk subject proposals; this is your chance to see Obie Fernandez cook
a squirrel 'Wok With Yan' style, or convince Zed Shaw to have us rent
Sumo suits for a battle royale. We're up for just about anything that
won't get us shut down or arrested.
LOVE ONE ANOTHER
Pages have been set up on social networks for committed RubyFringers.

Vision
We believe that the most important function of a geek conference is to encourage networking between smart people doing awesome stuff. We have plans to keep everyone engaged for the entire duration of the event, with several meals as well as after-hours socializing covered.
We want this to be a moment in time that people talk about for years to come.
Deep nerd tech with punk rock spirit.
