Subject: [Rubytests-devel] [ANN] MountainWest RubyConf Call for Presenters
	(reminder)
Message-ID: <6fd0654b0612010718m628a3a1bhc5aaf1e1e78e8720@mail.gmail.com>

We're still not at our target for presentation proposals for the
MountainWest RubyConf (Mar 16-17 in Salt Lake City).  If you've got an
interesting idea for a introductory or intermediate topic in Ruby or
Ruby on Rails, please submit a proposal.  (Proposals can be submitted
by sending email to me -- not the list.)  All proposals are due by midnight
31 Dec 2006, MST.

If you'd like to make a presentation, but are having trouble coming
up with an idea, her are some things I'd love to see:
  * BDD
  * Using JRuby
  * Using Ruby to make your life better (for example, I'm in the
  middle of writing a syslog analysis tool in Ruby)
  * Using Ferret
  * writing wrappers for existing C/C++ code
  * metaprogramming for beginners
  * code reading (give us a guided tour of some cool Ruby Code)


I'm sure other folks have ideas of what they'd lie to see too.  Drop
me a line and I'll compile a list.  BTW, I'd guess that this list
would be useful for speakers at other regional conferences too (yes,
this means you SouthWest RubyConf, NorthWest LinuxFest, Gotham City
RubyConf, RubyConf*MI, and all the other conferences I've not heard
about yet.  Even if you can't make it to Salt Lake City in March,
consider contributing to the list to support a conference closer to
you.
