For those coming to OSCON this year…
I’m in Portland and I’m thinking that we should organize some Ruby
Gathering after conference hours or perhaps a day prior or a day after.
I’m not proposing a RubyConf (that happens in NOvember) but perhaps
something a bit more informal. Perhaps some project discussions.
Anyone interested? If so, any ideas for what we should do?
BTW: How many people are planning on coming to OSCON?
Phil
I’m hoping to give a talk and an all-day tutorial (both on Ruby, of
course :).
Cheers
Dave

Not that I do anything but lurk on this list, but I will be there. I
have a tutorial session on securing sensitive data (and will be using
Ruby as the example language of choice 
Also, on a somewhat related note, we (MySQL) are having our first
annual user conference in about a month in San Jose.
We have set aside tables for community projects - including Ruby. I
have chatted with Sean Chittenden about getting some Ruby people to do
booth duty, but thought that I should probably mention it here as
well.
If anyone is interested, please drop me a line off list.
Cheers!

Would welcome getting together.

I would love to go, already living in Portland and all, but the
registration fee is a bit steep to go on a lark. Any secondary events
would be very interesting to me, though.

I’ll be there - doing a talk on Integrating SAP with OpenSource, and
Ruby + SAP::Rfc is one of the examples I’ll be giving (along with my
co-presenter).
It would be great to register some Ruby related BOFs to get as many
interested people along as possible, as these happen in the evenings
after each days events.
Cheers.

I’m going to give a talk, and hopefully a half-day tutorial.
Tutorial is not approved yet. It’s about creating extensions.
If it’s approved, will anybody help me?
matz.
A day before or after OSCON would be best for me.
As for topics, I would love to have sessions or discussions on:
The Design and Structure of the Ruby Source
(self explanatory, I hope)
Design Idioms in Ruby
A session or workgroup where expert Ruby programmers take us through
some of the concepts/patterns/idiomatic forms that they use when
developing
Cheers!

I’ll be there doing a presentation called “Data-Driven Classes in Ruby”,
and if you need help sometime other than when my presentation is, I’d
be happy to help in whatever way you’d like.

Matz,
Good to hear that you’re coming. I’m doing two presentations, I could
help you out if it’s not during one of my presentations.
BTW: My two presentations are:
*Ruby for Perl Programmers
*Mixed Language development with Swig (I don’t think this one is on the
Ruby track. I intend to use Ruby as the example language, but it’s a
general interest presentation)

Attend the tutorial, help part of presentation, fill the words I drop
when I screw up somehow, answer trivial questions from audience, etc.

Well, that’s quite a blast from the past. (Someone’s unclogged a
long-lost cache of really old newsposts, I see)
At this point, the bigger question is–how’d it go?

I could do that. Usually I manage to speak in complete sentences.

Probably just that I got up too early this morning…
but this reminds me of the old joke about Einstein
and his chauffeur.
They were approaching the next speaking engagement
at a university. The chauffeur said, “You know,
Dr. Einstein, I’ve heard you give this talk so
many times, I’ll bet I could give it in your place.”
So Einstein says, “That’s a good idea.” So they
trade clothes. At the university, the chauffeur
delivers the speech flawlessly and there is
thunderous applause.
Then comes the question and answer session. A
physics professor stands up and asks a long,
involved question about general relativity and
the curvature of spacetime.
“I’m surprised you would ask that,” says the
chauffeur. “I’m very surprised. It’s an extremely
elementary question. I’d have expected better
from this distinguished body. In fact, to show you
just how simple that question is… I’m going to
let my chauffeur answer it…”

That will only work if you think I could pass for Matz
