Hello all,
You''ve got just about a week left to get your proposals in for a talk
at the Ruby Hoedown, the South''s regional Ruby conference. You can
find any information you need here:
http://www.rubyhoedown.com/cfp.html
Speakers will receive free admission and an as of yet undetermined
honorarium of some sort (and dinner the night before the conference!
You can''t deny free food!). If you have any questions, feel free to
contact via e-mail here or off-list.
Thanks!
Jeremy and the rest of the Ruby Hoedown Crew

Re: [ANN][ADV] One week left on the Ruby Hoedown CFP!
At least I avoided "ain''t," "y''all," "you''ns," "thar," and "granpappy," among others. Personally, I like conference names that betray the personality or flavor of the conference rather than something like "Ruby Conference Happening in the Southeast Region." :) --Jeremy On Wed, May 28, 2008 at 12:21 PM, Eno <symbiat-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > On Tue, 27 May 2008, Jeremy McAnally wrote: > >> You''ve got just about a week left to get your proposals in for a talk >> at the Ruby Hoedown, the South''s regional Ruby conference. > > Nothing like the word "Hoedown" to reinforce that southern hick stereotype > heh? > > > -- > > > > > >-- http://jeremymcanally.com/ http://entp.com Read my books: Ruby in Practice (http://manning.com/mcanally/) My free Ruby e-book (http://humblelittlerubybook.com/) Or, my blogs: http://mrneighborly.com http://rubyinpractice.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Wikipedia cites Kansas as the site of the first mention of the term, and the most famous hoedown is from Copland''s Rodeo, it''s the tune used in that "Beef, it''s what''s for Dinner" ad campaign. Ruby Rebellion, or Ruby Confederacy might be more appropriate albeit probably less PC. -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
