Toronto is still EST, but it's reasonably cheap and easy to get to.
Plus, I live here :)

Whether that's an advantage is something that you'll have to decide
after RubyConf '04.

Beside that, though, I'm friends with a gent at IBM who works in
university relations up here (he doles out a bit of money for directed
CS research, I think) who might be interested in doing something in
that direction. I need to get him information on Ruby (he'd not heard
of it before), but if I can get him to sponsor some research (right
now, I would find Ruby on the AS/400 really useful) ... who knows?
