My friends from unspace are putting together FutureRuby, the spiritual successor to Rubyfringe which turned out to be one of the best conferences of last year.

The theme of the conference is obviously the future of ruby but one thing that is clear from the lineup is that the event doesn’t forget that ruby is part of a greater ecosystem and that ruby is as much a language as a mindset.

One great example of this is this workshop which Dan Grigsby is putting together which teaches iPhone development specifically to Ruby developers.

Shopify is shipping 8 people to the conference. Hope to see you there :-)
