I'd love to hear any good/bad/indifferent experiences you've had at previous RailsConf's or other events. Really want to make this a terrific celebration of our framework (and ourselves).

Your ideas can make it great(er).

PLEASE email me ([email protected]) your thoughts and questions.

I'd also _love_ to get on any Ruby podcasts that'll have me to talk about what we want the event to be this year and to talk about the forthcoming CFP.

About intellectual monopolies in Tech Conferences

Are you eager to help reducing the inequality related to speaker conferences? Here is an idea related to soon-to-be speakers, and some for organizers.
