Thanks everyone for the info.
I did notice the RailsGirls and RailsCamp hardware ideas. I'll be
interested to see what other things come up as the safe cash margin is
determined and future funding takes shape.
The largest Ruby conference I've been to was RubyKaigi 2011, which was a

We will be making all the Ruby Australia financial reports publicly available
on the website soon*.
Past RCs (at least back to RC10, the first under RubyAU) have had healthy

organisers, but having that cash has given us

*About you*
You've done the Rails, you know how it all works and you've shipped a variety

Ah oops. Sorry, my typing skills may have been lagging at that point.
Thanks again for organising this camp, Lachie (and Ben and Chris). RailsCamp #1
will always be #1 in my book, but this last one is #2. It was next-level good.
The amazing interactions I had with so many people showed level of
