My session "Google Go for Ruby Hackers" has been accepted - so if you want to find our how to code in a dynamic language which lacks method_missing? you know where to be between August 11th and 13th.
I'm still a penniless open-source coder so I've started a fresh pledgie campaign [0] to help cover my expenses. These will probably be dominated by the cost of my transatlantic flight, but in the unlikely event there's money left over it all goes into funding my dev time and not buying beer (which I brew myself) so don't be afraid to be generous

The Lone Star schedule [0] is up and includes a nice abstract of "Google Go for Ruby Hackers" which I can summarise thus: slightly deranged English hacker dissects two supposedly dissimilar languages with a very sharp knife and explores similarities in their entrails.
There'll be a slideshow for people who like that sort of thing, dense code samples for offline study, coverage of my fave Go tools (which shockingly includes unit testing!) and extemporised geekery. If language homology is your cup of tea then you can also expect to be educated and entertained whilst learning Go without the static preconceptions being peddled in the blogosphere.
My pledgie campaign [1] has now raised £120, which is around 20% of the return airfare for London<->Austin, so every contribution helps!
