FutureRuby

July 9-12, 2009, Metropolitan Hotel, Toronto, Canada

People who program in Ruby aren’t like other coders

We are the artists, philosophers, and troublemakers. We realize that the fringe of today is the mainstream of tomorrow. We grease the engines of progress, even when we're working outside of the machine.

FutureRuby isn't a Ruby conference, but a conference for Rubyists. This is a call to order - a congress of the curious characters that drew us to this community in the first place. We have a singular opportunity to express a long-term vision, a future where Ruby drives creativity and prosperity without being dampened by partisan politics.

Early-bird tickets sell out in five hours

March 9th, 2009

Thanks to everyone who’s signed up so far! We are truly humbled at the speed people have snatched up tickets to the event.

We’ve also had an outpouring of people offering to volunteer at the event, which is hugely appreciated! As of right now, we have everyone we need (and a few for back-up!) so thank-you for that.

We’re going to be lenient for the rest of the day (especially for RubyFringe alumni) but as of now tickets are officially on sale at the normal rate of CAN$800, which is good until June 15th.

Several people have pointed out that with the current exchange rate, early-bird tickets were US$538. That means that it’s actually cheaper than RubyFringe was last year.
