Ruby Central, Inc., parent organization of RubyConf and RailsConf, has announced the 2006 Regional Conference Grant Program. Ruby users groups can get grants of up to $1500 for expenses connected with putting on a regional conference.

It’s a timely program (if I say so myself, being one of the people behind it). RubyConf is a gem of a conference, and we want to keep it that way—but that also means it can’t be all conference-related things to all conference-going people.

We’re aiming to become Ruby Centrifugal. (Not literally, but metaphorically.) A distributed effort makes sense.

So if you’re involved in a Ruby users group - or even if you’re not, but feel motivated to try to put on an event - have a look at the guidelines (link above) and let me know what you think (dblack@rubypal.com).
