RejectConf

[Ryan Davis]

Jacob Harris and I came up with the idea of doing RejectConf. If you
submitted a proposal for rubyconf and got shot down (or just want to
give a talk), send me some info or grab me, Jacob, or Eric Hodel and
we'll make it happen.

Tentatively planned for Friday night... LATE. YAY for sleep deprivation!

constituted changes in direction in Modern Art, when the =20

went their own way, successfully. -Tim

Where're we going to meet? It'll be hard to miss this one.

Ah, I didn't want to sleep anyway.

Woot, this idea floated around pdx.rb as well, but apparently none of us
had what it takes to make it happen

I'm excited.

I'm in, though I won't be assembling a formal confederation of JRuby
slides...I've done them a dozen times already.

This sounds awesome. Assuming they don't cancel my flight *again*
tomorrow, I'b be glad to check this out.

We aren't aiming that high.

We aren't aiming that high.

I expect audio records + synchronised slides on the web by Monday for
those of us not going

Hi --

We aren't aiming that high.

And there's no establishment trying to suppress young radicals, in
this particular case.

I hope it goes well. I wish I were there. It feels weird not to be.

Saturday night is when we are going to meet. Where is still TBA.

Is this the definitive place to watch for more info? (I came late to
RubyConf today) Is it open to all / is there a limited registration?
Just heard to look at the caboo.se wiki for info, but it looks
super-secretive as caboo.se usual.

It was pretty cool actually.

As for audio/video, I think this summarizes it:

Cheers,

Haha, that's what you'd say if you WERE part of a conspiracy to
suppress young radicals...

Just kidding, I threw away my tinfoil hat ages ago.

I hope it goes well. I wish I were there. It feels weird not to be.

It felt funny without you, too. The club of "attended every RubyConf"
has shrunk that much more. It's now Jim Freeze, Paul Brannan I think,
Nathaniel Talbott, and few others if any. (Not me, you, Matz, Chad,
Jim W, ...)

Yeah, we lost two this year (me and Jim W.). The every-year club is
now:

Paul Brannan
Jim Freeze
Rich Kilmer
Masayoshi Takahashi # <= from Japan, six years in a row!!
Nathaniel Talbott

I believe that this year we achieved, or came very close to achieving,
the landmark of 10X growth since the first year.

Me!

In the end, there can be only one. And then....the prize! Which is
probably just a book signed by Matz or something, but you know, still
worth chopping heads off for.

Sorry Dan -- I left you out of my list (see previous email). I could
swear there were seven last year, and therefore five now... so am I
wrong about Rich?

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
