Wow. Lone Star Ruby Conference. Through an unexpected series of events, I ended up volunteering this weekend and had a great time. It was great to see the ruby community in action.

There were some fantastic presentations. H D Moor’s presentation about security exploits, an area I could care less about, was an entertaining story about using ruby to create Metasploit 3. Evan Short’s DSL presentation opened my eye’s to a lot of stuff I was missing about DSL’s. Zed’s (anti) keynote was better than expected. So was Jay Phillips talk on Adhearsion. And the Rails Envy guys gave us a sneak peak at their latest Rails video.

It still amazes me how many movers and shakers in the ruby community call Texas their home. Without them, LSRC wouldn’t have been the huge success that it was.
