On behalf of RubyConf 2004 and Ruby Central, Inc., we are thrilled to
announce a special gift from The Pragmatic Programmers to the Ruby
community:
As a thank-you to the community, the Pragmatic Programmers will give
each of the first 50 (fifty) people to register for RubyConf 2004 a
FREE COPY of the second edition of "Programming Ruby" ("Pickaxe2").
These recipients will be the first people in the world to see the
new edition; it will literally be hot off the presses and shipped
directly from the printers to the conference.
To qualify, you must register no later than September 1, and your
conference fees must be fully paid in advance of the conference.

Great stuff!
Happy Pickaxing, and see you in Virginia!
Not there but I could make it to location.gsub! /rgi(n)i/, 'en\\1'
robert - who is just too far away from Virginia *sigh*
Ooh, I just have found a good excuse to convince my employer to buy a copy of Pickaxe and this comes along. Where can we preorder the second edition?
(Ps: I have read and enjoyed the online version so I'm glad of an excuse to repay you.)

Shashank and Sean, did you actually submit proposals or did you just
put proposal ideas into the pre-registration? We do presentation
selection based on the proposal submissions. We use pre-reg just to
get a feel for how many people are thinking about speaking and which
topics they're considering. Often, people will submit ideas at that
stage but ultimately decide not to speak when the proposal call comes
out.
If you intended for your original pre-reg proposal to be an "official"
proposal, then we've missed it. Please let David and myself know via
email if you didn't show up on the agenda published today.
Thanks,
Chad

I am confused ... are you saying that the prsentation
schedule announced earlier (with speakers and their
topics) is not a complete list ?
The way I saw it is if I have submited a proposal
earlier and it is not showing up on the agenda then it
did not make the cut. Am i wrong?

Speaking for myself, just proposal ideas ...
