similar to: RubyNation Conference Call for Speakers is Open (Tix, too)!

Just a note to remind everyone that the RubyNation conference is around the corner, less than one month away. We are getting close to sold out, so help us push this thing over the top! This year we have more (and better!) presentations, including a keynote presentation by the person who IMO really started all the fuss with Ruby and Rails, Dave Thomas. We also have a bunch of quality speakers

Since 2008, Microsoft (formerly Revolution Analytics) staff and guests have written about R every weekday at the Revolutions blog (http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com) and every month I post a summary of articles from the previous month of particular interest to readers of r-help. In case you missed them, here are some articles related to R from the month of September: The mathpix package

[Strictly speaking, 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

Wednesday''s Beer & Pizza SIG was attended by about a dozen Rubyists, plus one extremely well-dressed gentleman (no hacker he!) who was on the prowl for Rubyists to hire. Beer and Pizza (among other things) were consumed, Ruby (among other things) was discussed, and everyone appeared to have a good time. The upcoming SIG will, as announced previously, be held just up the street at

Hi everyone -- Registration is now open for the upcoming Silicon Valley Ruby Conference, April 22-23. This event is a co-production of SDForum and Ruby Central, Inc. Some FAQ: Is this the same as RubyConf? No, it''s an event unto itself, and quite a substantial one! Is it only for Silicon Valley people? No. It''s got some regional Ruby community emphasis --

=== NYC Ruby Job Fair -- April 25th The NYC Ruby meetings lately have looked a lot like middle school dances. On one side of the room is people saying, "Gee, I wish I could work full-time doing Ruby or Ruby on Rails." On the other side of the room are companies saying, "Wow, those Ruby people sure look cute, I wish they would all come work for me." The music is playing, the

Hi -- Registration for RubyConf 2006 is still scheduled to open on August 2, in the early evening Pacific (US West Coast) time. Also, there''s more info at http://www.rubycentral.org/conference (e.g., the fact that this year we''re only taking credit cards, etc.). David P.S. Any LA area Rubyists around? I''ll be there this week doing Rails training. --

Hello Rubyists, I need to generate barcodes (in UPC and codabar symbologies) and would like to know if anyone has done this with Ruby. From what I can tell, it would be possible to use the gnu-barcode [1] or barcodewriter [2] to generate a PostScript, then through RMagick (via GhostScript) take the file and create a GIF/JPG. These will really only be used for web display (to be printed

I feel like I'm not firing at all cylinders with the R language, despite reading over the R Language Definition. Has anyone seen something like an "R for Rubyists" guide (i.e. teaching the R language for those who are more familar with Ruby)? Alternately, a book with lots of examples about how the R language itself works would be fantastic. -David

Hello Rubyists, I ran into a problem with sorting a table (rendered in a partial) using the sort_link_helper methods after I have submitted data and re-rendered the table through an AJAX request. The setup is a follows: The table is a shared partial of Controller1 and Controller2 accessible via "shared/table". The AJAX''ed sorting using the sort helper works all fine on

Does anyone have a clue as to when the railsconf speakers will be announced? Thanks- -Ezra Zygmuntowicz Yakima Herald-Republic WebMaster http://yakimaherald.com 509-577-7732 ezra@yakima-herald.com

This is pretty far off topic, but seeing as though it directly affects the upcoming Canada on Rails (http://canadaonrails.com) conference in April, I figure it kind of applies to Rails :) I need to find the best place to get discount tickets for the international speakers coming from Europe, and figure you guys would know where the best places are to get deals. I have checked klm.com, and
