...d in various conventions. A convention has more than one workshop, and each workshop can be held in more than one convention. Also each workshop has a host, who is specific to a workshop being held in a specific convention. For example, Matz may host an "Introduction to Ruby" workshop in RubyConf. And _why may host a the same workshop in RailsConf. This operates through the join-model convention_workshops, which has the following rows: convention_id, workshop_id, host_id, start_time. It belongs_to :convention, :workshop, and :host. Associations make it very easy to select by one associatio...

Hi all Sorry folks, I won''t be at RubyConf this year. I burned up the travel budget with a trip to Thailand, a makeup trip to Florida, and I''m headed to Florida again this Christmas. At least this gives me more time to work on Wuby. :) Regards, Dan

Hi all, Is anyone on the list going to RubyConf this year? I don''t know yet if I''m going to go. I''m still thinking about it. Regards, Dan

...eaking, this isn''t really a "reminder", since I''m fairly sure the original announcement didn''t go to this list. Nonetheless -- here it is!] Hi everyone -- In case you missed it the first time (and rather a lot of you seem to have...) -- You can now submit a RubyConf 2006 presentation proposal, at: http://proposals.rubygarden.org You can, and you should, and if you intend to, you MUST!

MountainWest RubyConf 2008 is scheduled for March 28 and 29, 2008. It will be in Salt Lake City, at the same great venue we had last year, and it is again our intent to record and make available all the talks under a Creative Commons, Share-Alike license -- you can see last year''s talks here: http://mtn...

I might be a bit scarce this weekend -- I managed to score a late ticket to RubyConf! I''ll be in Denver hobnobbing with Matz. :) Roy

One of the things that I''m most excited to have as part of the 2007 MountainWest RubyConf is the second Alternative Ruby Implementors'' Summit and Panel -- I wrote a bit more about it here: http://on-ruby.blogspot.com/2007/01/mountainwest-rubyconf-implementors.html The rest of the speakers and talks are listed here: http://mtnwestruby.org/speakers/ If you''re intereste...

Hi -- Here''s the current status of RubyConf registration: I''m tinkering with the form.... We''re using an outside registration service for the first time, so I have to make sure I get it right, and it''s actually pretty complicated (I think). We got our credit card merchant account, so we''re good to go on...

Hi, For those of you that attended RubyConf 2007, what were your impressions? Any more thoughts on JRuby, Rubinius, IronRuby or Wuby? Regards, Dan

Hi all, I realized the current implmentation has a problem - you can only get the last value set? I realized, after looking at the old C code, that it actually stores values in a hash and marshals the hash, not the values themselves. That seemed clunky to me, though. I thought it would be more interesting if we just marshalled the entire mmap object and passed that back and forth.

I''m proud to announce the official Mongrel certification program: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/certified.html Move quick, seats are filling fast for the RubyConf courses. -- Zed A. Shaw http://www.zedshaw.com/ http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/ http://www.lingr.com/room/3yXhqKbfPy8 -- Come get help.

Hi there what''s the status of the 0.13.4 release on Windows? I want to wrap up a project in the next 2 weeks and I''d wait for the new release if it''s coming in that timeframe. Otherwise I''d stay with the current windows version. thanks Jens-Christian Fischer

Hey David, I just watched the RubyConf recording of your RSpec session and noticed that you''re using a modified version of TextMate that uses a sidebar instead of a project drawer. Where did you find that mod? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rspec-us...

The attached patch fixes the task for non-gem installation. It adds installation of the version and class ruby files, and puts things in the right place (wx.rb was previously going into sitearchdir). It also adds an uninstall task. I plan to overhaul the rake system at some point soon as I think it could be declared more simply, and to avoid launching a new process for each of the cpp

Hi, I''ve got a Windows XP VM on my OS X box. Whenever I call File.exists?("A:") on it I get a system error pop-up box from Windows. The title of the window is "Windows - No Disk" and the error is "Exception Processing Message" followed by some numeric codes. It''s not a huge deal - eventually control returns to the program and it returns false

...trade in addition to just offering to sell the ticket! It was a great experience, and I got to meet a lot of people I think I''ll be working with, including Sarah Mei (the person I''m sending to the conference). If the logistics work out, I''ll be making a similar offer for RubyConf (this time with advance notice so people can plan for it!). If you want to hear more about the process, I wrote a blog post about it: http://jennyw.dangerousideas.com/articles/2006/06/17/railsconf-ticket-traded-anyone-want-to-go-to-rubyconf Jen

...nesday the 8th at 7PM. We''re meeting in room 120 of the Talmage Math & Computer Building (TMCB) -- see http://map.byu.edu/Map.html for a map of campus if you need it.

He is a former presenter at RubyConf (RubyConf 2003 "Working in the Garden: Web Apps with Borges" and 2005 "Reimplementing Ruby"), and has his hands in a number of exciting Ruby (and Rails) projects: ZenTest, Ruby2C, ruby-growl, ParseTree, Borges, and the Rails Log Analyzer.
