[ANN] RubyConf 2005 Registration now open

Hello everyone,

We are pleased to announce that registration for this year's
International Ruby Conference is now open at http://www.rubyconf.org/.

The agenda has been posted at http://www.rubyconf.org/agenda.html. It
looks to be one of the most exciting programs to date.
Pre-registration numbers are amazingly high in contrast to years past.
All signs point to this year's conference standing out as a turning
point.

Due to potentially high attendance, it's advisable to make hotel
reservations early (see registration page for details).

If you would like to sponsor RubyConf, please see
http://www.rubycentral.org/pledge/. We are looking for sponsors for a
number of items, including meals and travel arrangements for Matz.
O'Reilly (http://www.oreilly.com) has generously agreed to sponsor
lunch on the opening day of the conference.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Wonderful news! The time draws ever nearer...

A minor nit -- wouldn't it have been a good idea to inform people first
by email when their proposals were/weren't accepted?

I'll register early -- don't want to hitchhike so much as last year. :wink:

I got my acceptance email a week ago or so.

Hal, we did. We didn't get a proposal from you. Did you think you
had submitted one?

Hal, we did. We didn't get a proposal from you. Did you think you

I submitted one at prereg when the rails app crashed
and lost the data -- tried that a few times, then David
fixed it and we got it to work.

I specifically remember cutting and pasting at least twice
into this thing. What goes on?
