Ruby Hoedown 2007

I just signed up for the Ruby Hoedown conference. It’s being held here in Raleigh at Red Hat headquarters on August 10 & 11, and the cost is only $100. Speakers include Bruce Tate, Marcel Molina Jr., Ken Auer, Ezra Zygmuntowicz (cool name :) ), Andrea O. K. Wright, Jay Phillips & Jared Richardson.

I also signed up for the charity workshop on testing techniques put on by Marcel Molina, Jr., Bruce Tate, and Chad Fowler – the donation proceeds for that workshop go to the Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC. It will probably be a smaller group with more interaction.

Should be an interesting and fun time – gain some knowledge, make some contacts. Let me know if you’re also planning on attending.

Ruby User Group June 19

The Raleigh area Ruby user’s group will be discussing RailsConf on June 19 at 7 pm. at Red Hat Headquarters. Last year when they did this, attendance jumped from ~8 to ~30 and caused them to switch from Panera Bread to Red Hat as the regular meeting place.

It should be an interesting discussion. If you’ve never been to the Ruby user’s group meeting, or if it’s been a while, this one might be worth checking out. They usually have wi-fi setup in the room, so you can multi-task :)
