Let me also point out that Rubyists in Michigan have already scheduled
a Ruby Conf  for the end of August.  I've also heard rumblings from a
couple of groups in California, and in the mountain west.  I think this is
going to be a very interesting couple of years as the regional conferences
start to roll out.  One thing I hope we can avoid is a crush of gatherings
that impose a smothering effect on one another.   Perhaps it's time to
dig out a calendar app with which organizers can coordinate amongst
themselves.
