| <div class="entry-content"><p>Once upon a time, in an IRC room not so far away, a few people from the | ||
| Pittsburgh Ruby Users Group were talking about the awesome time we had just had | ||
| at Ruby Conf 2011. We were really excited and had lots of neat ideas, including | ||
| this one:</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <pre> carols10cents: we should have a conference in pittsburgh! </pre> | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| <p>There was much agreement, and thus the brainstorming began! We have a google doc | ||
| with all sorts of ideas. Some of those are being used this year, some were a bit | ||
| too ambitious for our first year ;) We also called it “Project Octoconf” for a | ||
| while so that we didn’t get stuck on picking a name– not because we have any | ||
| affiliation with Github/octocat, but because we see Pittsburgh Ruby, and | ||
| Pittsburgh in general, reaching into lots of different things and slowly taking | ||
| over the world, quietly and for good, of course :D</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>Since there are so many Ruby conferences though, what would make someone want to | ||
| come to ours? Well, what <em>about</em> all those Ruby conferences? Where do you start? | ||
| What if you’re not sure about this whole conference scene? What all goes on | ||
| there? Won’t it be all people who have been going to conferences forever?</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>So we decided to try to be the best Ruby conference for someone’s first Ruby | ||
| conference. We feel strongly that interacting with the community at conferences | ||
| is one of the great things about programming in Ruby, and we’d like to help | ||
| people get into that.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>To that end, we’re trying to keep costs down (and Pittsburgh helps with that as | ||
| it’s a relatively cheap city), do outreach to people who haven’t been to | ||
| conferences before, and plan activities with a new conference goer in mind.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>We are so grateful and excited for all the progress we’ve made and all the | ||
| people who have helped us so far, and we hope you’ll join us for the culmination | ||
| of these efforts in August!</p> | ||
