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!
David Black
for Ruby Central, Inc. and RubyConf 2007
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.

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

I am available. But I will gladly yield keynote privilege to Joe
Armstrong (on Erlang or OO sucks, for example), if he's willing.
In that case, I will have to prepare only for small presentation this
year.
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.
Oh, but it would be so nice to hear a lot about 1.9/2.0
But you should do it together with Masayoshi Takahashi !
The expert in being non-diligent about presentations.
What could be easier than the Takahashi method done for you?!

Thanks for the offer, but we still want you And I missed last
year's, so I definitely need to hear what's going on
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

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

Hey, didn't the creator of Objective-C give a keynote at a previous
RubyConf?

Avi Bryant is doing a keynote at this year's RailsConf...Why not Joe Armstrong at
RubyConf?
I'm not opposed to it, I'm learning Erlang etc., but it did make me wonder.

So, we'll have Joe do the keynote and Matz do a "State of the Union" speech separately.
Just a thought. Of course, I'm assuming Joe's even remotely interested.
Regards,
Dan

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.
