RubyKaigi tickets are now available: http://rubykaigi.doorkeeper.jp/events/2980 RubyKaigi is awesome. You get to hear about Ruby in the birthplace of the language, and the Japanese Ruby community is amazing. If you need any more convincing, check out the presentation I gave last year after Sappor

[rails-oceania] RubyKaigi - Hotels?

2011-06-30 Thread Chris Corbyn
Hi All, Has anybody who's been to RubyKaigi (or Tokyo) before got any suggestions on a semi-decent quality hotel/B&B, closer to central Tokyo than to the conference itself? Nothing fancy or needlessly pricey, but not budget accommodation for backpackers. I'll ask on Lonely Planet's Thorn Tree

Yesterday I realised that Beijing isn't as far from Japan as Melbourne! Today I booked my ticket and I'm pretty excited! Unfortunately the party sold out since yesterday so it looks like I'll miss that. I'm staying at Kimi Ryokan. Cheers, Chris On Mon, Jun 6, 2011 at 9:44 AM, Ben Hoskings wro

Also I just noticed the Monday of the conference is a public holiday in Japan, which means I can come, along with all the other shakai-jin. Robert -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group. To post to this group, send email to rai

They're also offering to translate the slides from English to Japanese and vice-versa before the conference. Andrew On Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 2:28 PM, Ben Hoskings wrote: > It's very accessible. > All the sessions are live-translated; there's someone in the audience with a > laptop who can transla

It's very accessible. All the sessions are live-translated; there's someone in the audience with a laptop who can translate between English and Japanese, and there are extra projected screens at the stage sides that show an IRC feed of the translation, as well as tweets tagged with #rubykaigi.

I can't speak for this year, but last year the majority of sessions were either in Japanese with live English translations on IRC, in English with live Japanese translations on IRC, or in both English and Japanese. There was decent contingent from outside Japan, many of whom could speak no Japan

I'd be interested in hearing from you and Andrew as to how accessible it is as a conference for non-Japanese speakers (in practice, rather than theory).

As Chris mentioned, I'll be flying in the Friday before Kaigi and leaving late the following Wednesday night. I plan on fitting a fair bit of Sake drinking into that time, so I'll probably need help finding good bars. Cheers! Paul @pda On Sunday, 5 June 2011 at 11:06 PM, Andrew Grimm wrote:
