Can we still get tickets??

I live in Toronto, but didn't hear about this one until a few weeks ago.

There seem to be an increasing number of Ruby events whose organizers
don't bother announcing on ruby-talk.

ruby-talk seems to be the real fringe, nowadays.

-austin, going anyway

I don't think anyone at Unspace is the mailing list type. Although I can
faithfully deny the fact that they don't coordinate with the community.
They are the ones that developed the Ruby community in Toronto and are
further developing by organizing this conference in the first place.

I don't know exactly how RubyFringe was promoted but it has been sold
out for quite a while so they didn't need any additional publicity.

Fret not! If it's any good I'm sure they'll be another one.

This statement is not correct. They did *not* develop the Ruby
community in Toronto. They tapped a growing *Rails* community in
Toronto, but they did nothing for the Ruby community as such. Hint:
look at trug.ca for the Ruby community in Toronto. I didn't start it,
and I miss the meetings as often as I make them, but that's what I
mean=97there are people who equate Unspace with Ruby in Toronto. I've
been trying to get RubyConf (the *real* Ruby conference) to come to
Toronto for several years.

I like Pete Forde a lot, and he wouldn't make this claim. Don't make it for=
him.

As always there the temptation to lump together Rails and Ruby.
Afterall, what is good for Rails is good for Ruby too; just about.

Also trug.ca, correct me if I'm wrong is a small community compared with
the ~40 attendees of Rails Pub Nite.

That's ~40 for each Pub Nite not in total. :)
