Rubyconf wrap-em-up
I’ve arrived back in Los Angeles after another amazing RubyConf. Everything that people say about the conference is true, it’s really a wonderful atmosphere and I enjoyed every minute. Tons of great talks and it’s so much fun to see all the fun ruby people all at the same time.
We (Wilson, Brian, and myself) didn’t get a lot of rubinius code written, but thats OK. We discussed our next steps and gave a lot of demos to people interested in the project.
Off hand, I’d guess that 6 or 7 patches were submitted by people at RubyConf (drnic, Tom Macklin, and I’m sure more), which is awesome. Last year, it took a week or so before people began contacting me about getting into the project. My hope is that that happens again this year.
I know I’ve said it before, but I have to say it again. I’m so happy with the momentum of the project and the community response. It means to me that the project will be a success because there is enough will and brain power behind it to get it over any potential barriers.
Well, thanks to everyone for the generous praise on the talk and the project.
