If it matters, I spoke with Jose Valim yesterday and he asked if there was
any conferences planned in Australia. Told him there may be, and he seemed
to express interest in coming but did mention that the flights were
expensive. If we were to get Jose and some other core members there it may

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to thank you for your feedback so far.
Because I think the feedback has been excellent, and the need is
certainly there, I have committed myself to moving forward with
organizing the Ruby conference.
I will be sending out other emails to get suggestions and help with

The Gold Coast would be a great venue ;)

I've been watching this thread with interest and have been pleased to see the
enthusiasm. However, I feel the need to temper this somewhat by presenting a
view of how much work is involved in organising a conference.

I'd much prefer holding the event in one location - I'm not sure if we'd get
the numbers to justify having it in two or three cities. Depends what the goal
is, though...
But I'm just a fan of having a whole stack of awesome people in one place,
generally.

Why not create a fund to attract only the best speakers from other
locations to talk in each state.
If we raise a few hundred we could invite speakers from interstate to
come along.
If we raise a few thousand we could invite speakers from overseas come
along.
We could start a Super Speaker Beer T
Would attend. Assuming there's drinking involved? There's gonna be beer

Hi Luke and all,
I am over speaking at RailsConf at the moment, and I bought this up with
several people here (vendors) about hosting a RailsConf in Australia funny
that this thread should come up at the same time.
So yes, there is definitely interest to send people over, and yes, I can hel
It was Mark Coleman who ran Rails Underground. I'm sure
he'd be happy to offer some pointers.

When RailsConf Europe was cancelled, someone put their hand up to create

I would be interested, but I will actually have to be in the country

To Korny's point below, I am still active in the "ruby" and "rails"

both) but because I tend to get exposed to other
Hi Luke,
I might come, it depends on how the conference looked (it's
theoretical right now).
I was raising the point of the host city as a real issue of interest
(in past discussions about conferences, too, not just this one),
rather than a point of argument. If you manage to organise such a

Hi Nicholas,
I had defaulted to Sydney because I am volunteering to do the leg

task of organizing it then go right ahead (and I'll be signing up to
attend and possibly help). We need somewhere to start, and I don't

Ah yes, the Melbourne/this discussion has occurred before argument has
been put well already.
On the other hand, I went to RubyConf India recently, and could ask if
some of the people who organised that might have any tips for you.
Might be worth doing. I enjoyed it a great deal, but saw that the

The idea has been discussed in Melbourne quite a bit (as Ben Schwarz
said). In the interest of fairness and representing community, it
shouldn't default to being in Sydney without a discussion. I'd be
interested in an Oz conf. in general, though.

I think logistically it would be very difficult to organise such an
