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.

Just came across a post that I thought someone might find interesting. This isn''t my company, but figured someone else might be interested. As DHH mentioned before, Ruby on Rails is not a bullet point on job openings, sweeeeeet.

I did a count today and found that there are only 50 seats remaining.

Does anyone know of a plugin or if anyone has
