[ANN] RubyConf 2007

[David A. Black]

Hi everyone --

On behalf of Ruby Central, Inc., I'm very happy to announce the
seventh International Ruby Conference:

RubyConf 2007
November 2-4, 2007
Omni Charlotte Hotel
Charlotte, North Carolina, USA

Stay tuned for announcements about registration, talk proposals, and
hotel arrangements.

A few logistical things:

* Registration will be $250 for the whole event. (There's no no-food
discount this year.)
* The hotel is offering us a rate of $109 plus tax per night (and
it's a nice hotel!).
* We're looking for sponsors! Please contact me if interested.

See you in Charlotte!

Sweet!

David, would it be possible to set up an RSS feed this year we can
watch for announcements?
It'd make the folks who only read RubyTalk occasionally happy, I think.

Whoo-hoo! Between the Ruby Hoedown in Raleigh and RubyConf in Charlotte,
this is a very lucky year for Ruby programmers in North Carolina!

So much for Canada, eh?

If Matz isn't available I vote for Joe Armstrong to deliver the
keynote. Heck, invite Joe regardless.

An Erlang keynote at a Ruby conference? I mean, yes, Erlang's
interesting, but a keynote?

Avi Bryant is doing a keynote at this year's RailsConf...Why not Joe Armstrong at

It's the Ruby culture.
It's not an Apple keynote where you expect Steve Jobs if there's to
be anything amazing.
Ruby culture has preferences, but tends to be the type of people who
are interested in concepts and ideas and less in the annoying details.

I'm not opposed to it, I'm learning Erlang etc., but it did make me wonder.

Well ... I'll do a Forth keynote at a Ruby conference

Cool! I'll have to make sure to get a front row seat!

It's not what I know that counts.
It's what I can remember in time to use.

It wouldn't be the first time. We had Brad Cox speak in 2004 (he's
one of the guys who made Objective C). RubyConf is typically
populated by language geeks, so getting a name-brand language guy in
would normally make _some_ sense

Is there a good location to find people looking for a roommate for
RubyConf 2007? Or if someone here is looking for one, let me know and
we can work out details.
