 ## Intro
 
+The goal of the Ruby devroom is to host technical content focused around the Ruby
+langauge and the numerous open source projects and initiatives which implement,
+extend and instrument the Ruby language.
+
+The time format for presentations in the Ruby devroom is not set in stone, but
+the ideal duration is around 35-45 minutes with Q&A included.
+
+We are open to suggestions for panels and/or more open, moderated, discussions
+provided the topics proposed fit with the theme of the room.
+
+
+### Talks/topics we'd like to see
+
+Some suggestions on the kinds of topics we would like to see discussed in the
+Ruby devroom:
+
+* The current state of the Ruby language itself
+* Presentations on the techniques employed by various Ruby virtual machines and
+  interpreters, along with the effectiveness and/or trade-offs of implementing
+  those techniques
+* Upcoming Ruby language features, and the implementation challenges and/or
+  user benefits that they provide
+* Tools and practices used to certify Ruby language conformity and evaluate its
+  performance
