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.

Employment.nil? — The First Toronto Ruby Job Fair

May 20th, 2009

Employment.nil?

We’re trying something new here in Toronto: a Rubyist job expo with no computers allowed.

In a push to draw attention to the amazing Ruby scene here, we’re promoting this event as an opportunity for businesses and start-up entrepreneurs to come and have casual conversations with dozens of Ruby developers. We can tell them in our own words why we love Ruby, and they can hire us because of our energy and personality… not because we have the right acronyms on our resume.

If you’re a Ruby developer — student, freelancer, or even a small company — please consider decorating a poster board and getting in on the action. We’re getting a significant amount of local media attention, and there’s only 40 spots available.

You can sign up at http://rubyjobfair.ca/ and keep an eye on #rubyjobfair on Twitter.
