I'll be going this year, for my first time, and I'm a lurker on this
list at best. I've build a number of Rails applications, but nothing
in Hobo yet. I keep hoping my project needs will meet up with what
Hobo does best, and that I can get off the runway... If you do this,
please be sure to make a big woo-hoo about it, and I will definitely
try to make it to the BOF.

Matt Jones and I led a BOF last year. There was lots of interest,
but no users other than ourselves.
I would be prepared to help lead a BOF again this year and could
make up a few slides to get the discussion going.

+1 on doing this again; the only issue with slides would be that
(unless they're changing it this year) there weren't projectors
available for the BoF sessions. (the Bohconf folks scraped one up
for the session with Yehuda Katz, but that was an anomaly).
Here's the proposal I threw together at the last minute last year;
additions / revisions / suggestions appreciated!
Description:
Hobo is a set of Rails extensions with a singular goal: write less
code. Come learn more and meet fellow Hobo developers.
Abstract:
From Hobocentral.net: What is Hobo?
Hobo is a collection of open-source gems/plugins for Ruby on Rails
that help you build anything from throwaway prototypes and internal
utilities to meticulously crafted full-blown web apps. The goal:
write less code. So much less in fact that it starts to feel like
you’re not implementing your app at all, you’re just declaring what
you want.
It turns out that the hard part is not going fast, but staying
flexible. This is where we think Hobo really shines. If you’ve
played with “app builders” before, you’ll know about The Wall. The
Wall is the point you reach where you have to give up and do it the
old way because that one feature you really need just isn’t going to
happen. Hobo doesn’t have one.
