This is a very interesting idea.  As Pat mentioned this would boost Ruby 
attendence at OSCON - if people also went to OSCON - and that would 
increase Ruby's visibility there.  Python holds their annual meeting in 
conjunction with OSCON.

Is there enough time to put together a RubyConf by July?

I live in Portland, so I guess I've got alterior motives ;-)
