[ANN] Canada on Rails - 15 Speakers To Debut at the First Ruby on Rails Conference in Vancouver, BC, Canada
Canada on Rails (http://canadaonrails.com) has just announced that 15 speakers will head up the first ever Ruby on Rails conference in Vancouver, BC on April 13-14th, with two days afterwards for a Workshop held by Steven Baker on Agile Rails Development. We at Canada on Rails originally only planned for 10 speakers to be flown in, but pre-registrations have been going so well, and honestly, we just had to pick all of these remarkable speakers and get them into Vancouver for this sure to be amazing - first ever in the world - Ruby on Rails conference. So, before I tell you who these guys (and gal) are, you might want to go purchase that ticket online first at http://store.osevents.com. You have exactly 21 hours and 30 minutes to get your ticket for only $175 CAD, after tonight, it goes up to regular price of $250. We are expecting a sell-out crowd for the event, and you can be sure it''s going to be the biggest turnout Open Source Events has seen yet. Without any further delay, here they are: 1. David Hansson, creator of Ruby on Rails 2. Thomas Fuchs, creator of script.aculo.us 3. Dave Astels, published author on Test Driven Development 4. David Black, creator of SCANF, RCRArchive 5. Joe O''Brien, developer with ThoughtWorks 6. James Adam, creator of Rails-Engines 7. Steven Baker, creator of RSPEC 8. Michael Buffington, cofounder of Price.com, co-architect of MeasureMap.com 9. Robby Russell, founder of Planet Argon 10. Geoffrey Grosenbach, host of Ruby on Rails Podcast 11. Kyle Shank, lead developer of RadRails and Rubish 12. Jeremy Voorhis, lead architect at Planet Argon 13. Alex Bunardzic, founder of Jooto 14. Sebastian Kanthak, creator of FileColumn plugin 15. Amy Hoy, future author of a "Right-Brained Guide" to Ruby on Rails For more background on each speaker, you can read their full length bios by visiting: http://canadaonrails.com/speakers.html The schedule is currently being reworked now that we have 5 additional speakers to fit into the original timetable. Please bear with us as we work out the finer points and we will publish this soon as we can. To stay up to date on all the breaking news, be sure to register for the Open Source Events newsletter (http://newsletter.osevents.com/?p=subscribe&id=1).

Since I won''t be able to attend I just want to ask: WILL THERE BE SCREENCASTS AFTERWARDS? ;-) Kind regards Nicolai
We are doing all that we can to make this happen. I have spoken with an associate who has a couple professional cameras, so what we will try and do is get it done as a DVD, any look towards offering a few of the talks on open channels. -Nb ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nathaniel S.
