Swag from from 2009 Golden Gate #ruby Conference #GoGaRuCo. A different time in the San Francisco Ruby scene. Mistakes were made and some people did dumb or thoughtless stuff in this different time. Not saying it was perfect.

But it was a singularly fun time to be part of a vibrant and growing creative coder community.

A good question from this morning: what’s a good way to discover local and regional conferences like #bangbangcon, #strangeloop, #gogaruco, and all the lovely eclecticons.

Anyone have advice on this?
