Planning for DevIgnition 2011 is in progress. Look for a probable December 9th landing date.
RubyNation 2012 on the Horizon
Planning activities began today for RubyNation 2012, which will be the 5th year anniversary for the conference. We start planning more than 8 months before the conference, commencing with a planning meeting and kick-off dinner for the organizers.
Back from RailsConf 2011
I’m back from a very enjoyable and informative RailsConf 2011, which was held in Baltimore, MD this week. The Rails 3.1 news looks exciting, with SASS and significant new JavaScript options being added to the framework.
Killer Business Models and DC Consultants
I’ll be presenting my talk on “Creating Killer Business Models” on June 21, 2011 at the DC Computer Consultants Meetup. This is a “big picture” business talk that should be useful for anybody working for startups or contemplating starting their own company.
RubyNation 2011: A Great Success
RubyNation 2011 is now in the history books. I have to say that it was another highly successful and inspiring conference, with dozens of talks by some of the field’s top Rubyists. We had 216 attendees this year, up from last year’s 185. Plus, I’ll treasure my pirate hat forever (speaker Chris Williams handed out pirate hats to go with his pirate-themed talk).
RubyNation 2011 is Sold Out!
It’s official. RubyNation 2011 is sold out. This year’s conference will have 200 attendees, our best total ever. If you’re interested, get yourself on the waiting list. If anybody cancels, you might still have a chance to get a ticket.
Three More Tapes Ingested for RubyNation
I managed to get 3 more tapes from RubyNation 2010 ingested this weekend. The next videos up will be Dave Bock, Russ Olsen and Jeff Kunkle.
RubyNation Speaker Selection
The Call for Papers for RubyNation closed Sunday, January 31st. The conference organizers met last night and finalized the speaker selections. We’ll be posting individual speaker announcements as we get confirmations from each speaker. We’ll have the full schedule on RubyNation as soon as we can get all speakers confirmed.
DevIgnition Bumper
I just got an awesome DevIgnition bumper, an animated introduction culminating in the DevIgnition logo, from Don Anderson. Now that I’ve got this, I can start getting the DevIgnition conference videos completed. Expect some nice online technical videos shortly.
