I'd also like to thank the organizers again for the labor of love that 
went into the conference.  The only annoying thing about it was that 
after leaving I felt the need to go and rewrite just about everything I 
had to take advantage of the new things I'd learned :-)

My one comment about the conference are:

- Having discussion groups on some particular topics would be nice. 
There was a lot of potential discussion to be had on things like 
RubyGems, Code Generation, and so on.  While there was time to have 
meetings, and I'm sure that they were held, I'm not socially confident 
enough to walk into a discussion and make myself a part of it.  Having a 
more formal introduction to a discussion might be nice.  (I apologize 
for asking people to help accomodate my social ineptness :-) )
