EngineYard are really making use of their 3.5 mil and sponsoring the Sydney Rubinius Sprint, a full hack-day-slash-workshop run by Marcus Crafter and Dylan Egan on Sunday March 9th.

If you haven’t heard about Rubinius it’s a sexy new virtual machine for Ruby that’s going to rock the world’s jocks off.

Word on the street is both Evan Phoenix and Eric Hodel will be making an appearance.

Unfortunately I can’t make it as I’ll be backpacking in Vietnam. If you’re a Ruby hacker and can make it to Sydney you’d be crazy to miss it. Don’t forget to register your attendance.
