  Raganwald at RubyFringe
I’m really excited about this: RubyFringe is “A single-track indie conference with no paid technical sponsors.” Some of the most interesting people I know are participating, people like Leila Boujnane, Evan Phoenix, Damien Katz, and Obie Fernandez.

RubyFringe is an avant-garde conference for developers that are excited about emerging technologies outside of the Ruby on Rails monoculture.

RubyFringe breaks new ground. It captures the spirit of living on the bleeding edge, the culture of people who are interested in creating the future, not just going along with whatever happens to transpire.

And I will be there. I’ll have more to say about my participation in the next few weeks, but I will commit to this: I plan to launch something wild at RubyFringe.

Registration opens Monday, February 18th. Please do not miss out on this!
