Hi, I am going to my first Rails Conf and I had a few questions that I can''t find answers for: Do you have to decide which seminars you are taking and like sign up or can I sporadically change my mind, even 10 minutes into a talk. I can''t decide which seminars to attend, If I miss one, are they recorded so I can watch them later? Do the rooms ever fill up? I mean can I miss a seminar because there are too many people that want to go to a specific talk and the room won''t hold them all. AKA do I need to go in early and grab a seat. Do y''all have suggestions for "don''t miss this one" seminars? They all look great to me. Thanks in advance. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Good questions! I''d like answers to the same ones. I''m going on the Thursday and I know the Tuorials had limited space, and we got stuck in a couple of pretty useless ones for us... gonna try to switch when we get there.

All answers based on last year''s conference which was also at the OCC. On May 14, 2008, at 3:35 PM, sw0rdfish wrote:> Good questions! I''d like answers to the same ones.

I doubt you can switch at the last minute.> On May 14, 3:12 pm, Ruby Freak <twscann...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: >> Hi, >> I am going to my first Rails Conf and I had a few questions that I >> can''t find answers for: >> >> Do you have to decide which seminars you are taking and like sign up >> or can I sporadically change my mind, even 10 minutes into a talk.Only the tutorials required your prior reservation.

At the Oregon Convention Center, they actually close the doors and post a sentry when the room is "full". Typically that meant when all the chairs were filled, but there were some standing around. There were only a few that filled up last year, but if you can tell from the title that a talk you want to see will be popular, then you should go early and take a seat.>> Do y''all have suggestions for "don''t miss this one" seminars?

What about parking? Is it free? For 600 bucks, it ought to be :-) On May 14, 12:51 pm, Rob Biedenharn <R...-xa9cJyRlE0mWcWVYNo9pwxS2lgjeYSpx@public.gmane.org> wrote:> All answers based on last year''s conference which was also at the OCC. > > On May 14, 2008, at 3:35 PM, sw0rdfish wrote: > > > Good questions!
