      <title>regional Merb meetup</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Does anyone think there is a market for a Philadelphia area, 1 or 2-day Merb conference?&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ll be the first to admit that my Merb cred is quite minimal. I did a talk on it months ago at &lt;a href="http://phillyrb.org"&gt;Philly.rb&lt;/a&gt; but since then, I have barely touched it. I&amp;#8217;m seeing great things out of Merb recently, and I feel it has a real potential to overtake Rails as our Ruby framework of choice at Kinetic.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;So I&amp;#8217;m thinking of trying to organize, or at least get behind, a regional conference all about Merb. The Philadelphia Ruby community is thriving and I wonder if there is an appetite for hearing some Merb talks and, of course, socializing with other Rubyists.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I suppose my next task should be to &lt;a href="http://rubyconf2008.confreaks.com/organizing-a-regional-conference.html"&gt;watch this talk&lt;/a&gt; from RubyConf. I skipped it in Orlando thinking I&amp;#8217;d never want to organize a regional conference. But perhaps I do&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
