One year ago, a regional Ruby conference in Arizona was just an idea between friends who wanted to support the local Ruby developer community. In late November, volunteers met for the first time over coffee, and on Saturday, September 25th 2010, Arizona hosted her first regional Ruby conference: SunnyConf.
Update: SunnyConf 2010 videos are now available at Confreaks
Here's what a few of our attendees had to say about it.
I love first conferences. Organizers aren't jaded by previous experiences, crowd is small and intimate, speakers are eclectic. #SunnyConf

Sinatra talk just started and is awesome already. #sunnyconf has been and continues to be great.

Enjoying @headius's talk on JRuby. Leveraging all Java and JVM have to offer. Good midi music player demo in few lines of code. #SunnyConf.

Presentation of Bundler at #sunnyconf is giving me dep mgr envy for Java. Maven needs to copy this sweetness. http://gembundler.com/.

SunnyConf would not have been made possible without the amazing speakers, the spectacular attendees, and a great group of organizers, volunteers, and vendors.
From all of us at SunnyConf, thank you!
