Until very recently, the mailing list[1] was linked on the home  
page[1], but that's been replaced by the videos link. There are two  
other links to the list still on the page though...

There's also lots of background and info in first three pages of  
Google results. Searching for "london ruby conference" would quickly  
lead you to this[2] as another starting point  ;-)

In a nutshell, it was a community-instigated, community-driven, not- 
for-profit shindig that wasn't heavily promoted, but sold out anyway.  
You should get the gist of how it was put together via the google  
group archives, (as required by the 'manifesto' on the home page[3],  
everything was conducted in the open).

Hope that helps,

James
