[rails-oceania] Re: Heading to a Conference in 2009?

2008-12-01 Thread Adam Meehan

RailsConf was great this year so its tempting to go again. Plus you
would probably get the 'steak and strippers' thrown in free with ya
conference ticket.

But it might all be too distracting. You could spend a whole day at
the hotel buffet, let alone visit all the freak show themed hotels as
well. Then there's the temptation to pull off some 'Fear and Loathing'
style shenanigans. Could be too much for me.

I think I will just go to TED too. Now to start a pledgie ...

Rails is better documented and changing far more slowly now than it was in
2006.

I want a conference like RailsConf2006 and that won't be RailsConf2009.

I'll be considering events like Oscon[1] , etech[2], but am more interested
in a Cloud event as that area is still being defined.

2008-12-01 Thread Jason Crane

Put em all up on the wiki, and we can do some sort of crazy voting to  
work out what gets presented.

We also don't have any lightning talks?  Or do we want to drop these  
when we do pressos? (and then do lightning talks every second or third  
meet?)

Well, at the risk of outstaying my welcome ;) I'll be around for the  
Jan meetup, so can present then + I want to hear what tim has to say.

How many talks are required?  I've got one on offer, but talked last

It's been a while. I'm up for Javascript Animation via Custom Events
and OO Design. I'll use prototype but the talk is not framework
specific.
