http://rubymanor.org/ shall be good in London in April.
I'd got to http://www.railsberry.com if I could afford a second trip. Looks like they've managed to get a good & diverse line-up, and it's in a great city to visit by all accounts. Believe Slaw and Tekin went last year - unsure if they did a follow up blog? Incidiently, I've been lucky enough to be able to go to two conferences before. One, Magrails, I paid for myself & really enjoyed it. The other was some sort of joint arrangement with LiquidBronze (that I've forgotten) and was for Rails Underground in London. I'm always surprised that people can afford the time to go to lots of them, and always surprised at the cost, but they were fun, interesting, motivating and worthwhile. If Ruby Conf England is occurring this year - I'd assumed it wasn't now, it'd be great to know the dates, so that I can potentially support another local conference. Especially if it's in the sub £100 category, or there's a one day option. I think I'd see the main potential from the conferences as topping up on the buzz from doing niche things like coding Ruby commercially, networking & finding like-minded souls that might be up for collaborating on projects commercially or otherwise - which there's not many of in Manchester! I've not been to any other conferences in other disciplines, but have been considering going to an Android related one, as it seems a platform with more likelihood of commercial work in Manchester going forward. Any Android conf suggestions? Cheers, Ian. http://www.linkedin.com/in/alteris http://ianmoss.com/contact http://twitter.com/oceanician > For me it's always about meeting people.
