It's no bad thing, but it's no great thing either - I can't do
international travel anywhere nearly as easily as I can travel within
the UK, and RailsConf doesn't really float my boat, being a
mostly-non-railser. It would be really cool to have something (probably
more informal than Rubyconf) here in the UK.

My vote would be for either Nottingham or Manchester, not only because
they're fairly central, but also because I'm pretty much already
there :->
