[ANN] Ruby Hoedown 2007 - Invited Speakers Announcement and Call for Participation!
Hello all, We have two exciting announcements for you today: First, two speakers have graciously accepted our invitation to come speak: Marcel Molina Jr. and Bruce Tate. Marcel is a Rails core team member, regular http://project.ioni.st/ tumblelogger, and author of the most excellent AWS::S3 library. Bruce recently authored "Beyond Java" for the Pragmatic Bookshelf, is a long-time No Fluff Just Stuff conference speaker, and now spends most of his time http://changingthepresent.com/. We''re very, very excited that Marcel and Bruce will be presenting, and suddenly August seems too far off: the waiting will be hard (but worth it)! Second, while our invited speakers will do a great job book-ending the conference, the real meat will come from the community. Enter the Ruby Hoedown 2007 Call for Participation, in which you, regular Ruby folks of all types and stripes, propose talks about topics you''re passionate about. You can find all the details at http://www.rubyhoedown.com/cfp.html, but just so you know, we have room for about five full-length talks and eight lightning talks, and competition is expected to be fierce. You have until midnight EST on June 2nd to get your proposal in to us, but the earlier the better. Ryan Daigle, our program point guy, will be coordinating a crack team of reviewers to make sure the schedule for the Hoedown is can''t-miss. So again, head on over to http://rubyhoedown.com/cfp.html, read up on the details, and get us your proposal ASAP. With Marcel and Bruce and the great proposals we expect from the community, the 2007 Ruby Hoedown is shaping up to be an amazing conference.
