[LRUG] [ANN] One day Ruby event in London, later this year. Interested?

[Ben Griffiths]

Sounds like a fab idea. I was wondering about doing something similar
a while back, but turns out I'm a lazy sod.

Some of the things that have worried me about previous conferences I've been to:

• gender balance - why are we so poor at this in the IT community?
• everything is international - 'from Londoners, for Londoners' is too
extreme, but fed up with stateside speakers.
• no hacking space - should be a place for projects to get kicked off
and collaborators found.
• it's a big drag when talking to people afterwards who didn't come to
the conference that videos take so long to appear, if indeed they ever
do.
• never, ever enough coffee.

Bah, I'm in whatever - you chaps will put on a great do. Need any help?

Ben
