I was honored to be asked to join the Steering Committee for RubyNation.org, which is a new, regional Ruby Conference that will be held in the DC metropolitan area this year. The organization is headed up by a sterling group of people, who I have already worked with in various capacities. Naturally, I accepted, even though I realize it’s going to be a lot of work. We’re expecting not only to run a successful conference this year, but we’re also hoping to make it an annual event.
