This year the focus is on people doing strange things with Ruby. Strange, of course, is anything just a bit outside the expected. If you've created a new Ruby-based interface for hacking your brand new internet-enabled phone (rPhone anyone?) or composed your latest bit of metaprogramming magic, we'd love to hear about it. Using the lightning talk idea you'll get 10 minutes (give or take a few) to talk. Make it especially interesting and they might even give you an extra minute or two. Send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in advance if you are interested in presenting or show up early on the 24th to sign up for a possible slot. ****Powell's Technical Book Event July 24-26 http://www.powells.com/oscon - Tuesday, July 24--Phil Torrone, 6pm Make magazine senior editor and blogger Phil Torrone will show off his hobbyist skills at Powell's Technical Books.
