-### [Call for proposals now open!](/cfp.html)
-
-
-The Ruby devroom at [FOSDEM](http://fosdem.org) is a focused developer room
-around the Ruby programming language and the open source projects which
-implement it. While the Ruby community does have a number of regional
-conferences devoted to its use, opportunities for those interested in the "how
-it works" of Ruby interpreters and virtual machines are practically
-non-existent. The goal of this developer room is to discuss:
-
-* The current state of the Ruby language
-* Techniques employed by various VMs and their effectiveness
-* Upcoming Ruby language features, and the challenges/benefits that they provide
-* Tools and practices used to certify Ruby language conformity and performance
-* Costs and Opportunities provided by the multitude of implementations
-
-
-### Involved projects
-
-* [JRuby](http://jruby.org)
-* [Ruby (MRI)](https://www.ruby-lang.org/)
-* [RubyTruffle](http://www.chrisseaton.com/rubytruffle/)
-* [Rubinius (Ruby on Ruby)](http://rubini.us/)

 ## Why we're here
 
-While many Ruby developers attend FOSDEM, the Ruby open source community has
-generally been underrepresented in the technical content of the event. With the
-Ruby devroom not only would the Ruby community become more plugged into the
-FOSDEM experience, but FOSDEM would be hosting Ruby-oriented content that is
-both unique and very technical. Considering the broad interest in dynamic and
-interpreted languages, the Ruby devroom will also provide compelling technical
-content interesting to members of the Python, Perl, JavaScript, Smalltalk, LLVM
-and Java communities. There is quite some interest in the topic, as the
-overcrowded Java dev room if  [Charles Oliver
-Nutter's](https://github.com/headius) talk on JRuby in the FOSDEM 2014 Free
-Java devroom is any indication.
+Join us at the Ruby Devroom at FOSDEM 2024 for a celebration of all things Ruby! 
+We invite all Ruby enthusiasts to share their knowledge and passion through presentations, workshops, and discussions.
 
-Considering the number of notable Ruby implementations, listed below, there
-should be more than enough highly interesting and technical content!
+This devroom will provide a platform for Ruby developers to share their experiences, learn from each other, and collaborate on projects. 
+We welcome submissions from developers of all levels, from seasoned veterans to those just starting out. 
+If you have a story to share or a lesson learned, we want to hear from you
 
-* Ruby (MRI, the original C-based VM)
-* JRuby (Ruby on the JVM)
-* Rubinius (Ruby on Ruby)

-* RubyMotion (Ruby on top of Apple's Objective-C/Cocoa foundation)
-* Maglev (Ruby on the GemStone Smalltalk VM)
-* Opal (A working Ruby to JavaScript transpiler)
