The rubyx gnu-linux distro uses a concise ruby script to build and maintain 
the complete 'from source' distro. It also has a ruby based init system. 
Would a talk/demo about the use of ruby in rubyx be suitable fodder for the 
ruby track? Or are these conferences usually full of 'rapid web development' 
types only?

I had thought of submitting a proposal, but don't really know if the topic is 
suitable. As ruby enthusiasts, is it the sort of thing you'd be interested in 
attending?
