RubyKaigi 2011 was really great. My talk was well received, the other talks were great, the atmosphere of RubyKaigi was wonderful, and I had a lovely time in Japan. Makoto Inoue translated my talk from English into Japanese. On the day, my talk on the Small Eigen Collider was well-attended, and people asked questions, aided possibly by my offering t-shirts! People tweeted and IRC’d about my talk.
