Summary
In the past, the Agile movement gave unconventional people cover while they sneaked odd and productive ideas (like using Ruby) into projects. But today, Agile is sick. Here’s what’s gone missing and how, in the future, the spirit of FutureRuby might revitalize Agile.

About the conference
FutureRuby isn't a Ruby conference, but a conference for Rubyists. This is a call to order - a congress of the curious characters that drew us to this community in the first place. We have a singular opportunity to express a long-term vision, a future where Ruby drives creativity and prosperity without being dampened by partisan politics.
