Hey Canadians, Tonight is the second VanRuby presentation, to be held at Suite 330 - 1085 Homer St, Vancouver, BC. The talk is going to be on SOAP4R and will be presented by Emil Marceta. More information can be found online at: http://www.vanruby.com/vanruby-soap4r-october-25 Also, I would like to announce, on April 13th and 14th, the first Canadian Ruby on Rails conference titled "Canada on Rails" http://www.vanruby.com/vancouver-ruby-conference.html will be taking place. If you are interested in speaking for this event, airfare, hotel, and possibly some spending money will be provided to speakers who are selected to talk. Those who are core to Rails, such as David, Chad, etc. please contact me at nshb-dktOVO25QuxBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org - to help me out and make sure I got you covered. This conference will be produced by the newly forming non-profit organization called the Open Source Foundation (www.osevents.com), which has previously held events such as PHP West (featuring keynote by Rasmus Lerdorf), and PHP and Open Source Security (featuring keynote by Bruce Perens). Previous attendance has been anywhere from 150-200, and with the massive success our first Rails meeting had at VanRuby (over 50 people turned out), I imagine this to blow our previous record out of the water. Warmest regards, Nathaniel.
