I've been to RubyConf and, as a Rubyist, I was looking at going last year, but my impression was that it was pretty poorly run (at least compared to a conference like StrangeLoop). They seemed very late in getting sponsors and offered nothing in terms of travel assistance for underrepresented groups. When I asked them why they didn't, they gave me some malarkey about being a non-profit then refused to engage with me further.
