RubyConf is and always has been a single-track event. I have discussed
this with David Black sufficiently to suggest that the likelihood of
RubyConf ever becoming multi-track is very low. (I think a snowball has
a better chance, if you catch my drift.)

However, the planning for RubyConf is sufficiently flexible that there
*is* a hallway track in that there's often a lot of hallway discussions
(without the science-fair posters) and some random hacking that gets
done.

I didn't attend it, but I hear that one of the more interesting
discussions happened around behaviour driven development by the pool in
San Diego last year (I think that I was a bit jet-lagged and therefore
didn't attend that). It was in no way an officially planned event.
