This is really exciting, glad to see this is getting a lot of support. Can't wait to see some of the great presentations after the event!

I'll admit my first reaction was to check to see whether or not the speaker list will withstand the scrutiny of the Twittersphere's association of people who've never organized any type of get-together yet deem themselves qualified to jump first to publicly shaming those who stick their necks out by doing so.

Don't be a jackass.

1. You never know who has actually organized a conference, 2. That's not a relevant counter argument.

> Don't be a jackass.

Hi phillmv, thanks for taking the time to respond to my admittedly glib though 100% honest comment! Your statement I quoted above directly reflects the sentiment I was attempting to direct towards 'the Twittershphere'.

> 1. You never know who has actually organized a conference,

You may have indadvertently overstated your case here. For example, the organizers of this conference are listed at the bottom of the page linked above!

> 2. That's not a relevant counter argument

I recognize that most of my original comment is basically an ad-hominem attack on anyone critical of conference organizers. I failed to clearly state what I would consider to be an appropriate response: sharing constructive criticism via private channels such as email, phone calls, etc. with a particular emphasis on providing immediately workable solutions. Twitter has repeatedly failed as an initial channel for constructive feedback on serious issues, but is certainly recommended as a fallback should the time come to 'name and shame'.

Although I never coded anything on it, RubyMotion is a tool that I really want to be successful. So it's nice to see their user base growing to the point where they have a conference.

I think this is great, its always a sign that a community is growing well when it has dedicated conferences with such great speakers. Congrats guys, I'm looking forward to seeing where this takes off to!
