Big news–Jim Remsik of Flagrant has officially announced XO Ruby! 💫

Taking place across six U.S. cities between September and October, XO Ruby is a series of traveling events that, for locals, won't require a plane ticket and hotel stay.

Locations & dates:
Chicago - September 6th
Atlanta - September 13th
New Orleans - September 20th
Portland - October 11th
San Diego - October 18
Austin - October 25

These are smaller, regional gatherings designed to bring together 60-100 people who are Rubyists or Ruby-curious.

And while the events are smaller than conferences, they are sure to have a big impact on local Ruby communities and the Ruby ecosystem as a whole!
