Tangential to the discussion on Ruby Conferences, I did want to mention this -- there's not a lot of reference on how to do a conference well —

This is a discussion with @jremsikjr, Jen Remsik, Leah Silber, and Marty Haught on running tech conferences.

Slides for my #railsconf talk “Rails on Ruby: How Ruby Makes Rails Great" are now available at https://speakerdeck.com/noelrap/rails-on-ruby-how-ruby-makes-rails-great

@erniemiller with RailsConf in Atlanta and walking through those corridors, I hoped to see https://ernie.io/2015/05/17/your-clever-code-is-a-jewel-encrusted-lobster/ again, but I assume it’s long gone….

If you liked @eileencodes keynote overview of #Raiis, and you want to see more examples of metaprogramming in the Rails codebase, please come see my #railsconf talk today at 3:00, which shows more examples from the Rails code base. See you there!

What would you say is the design rationale in Ruby for having Kernel be a separate module that is mixed in to Object?
