It’s our extreme pleasure to announce the first annual JRubyConf, to take place Sunday, November 22nd, immediately following RubyConf 2009! We’ve been working on putting this together for a little while now, and it’s finally time to share.

The JRuby project has been making incredible progress and gaining popularity; at the same time, the community has been growing like crazy. At this stage, we think JRuby definitely needs a conference of its own. The roster will be highly technical, cutting edge, and will feature JRuby experts from all over the globe.
