[ANN] FOSCON II: The Ruby Rodeo
PDX.rb presents...
FOSCON II: The Ruby Rodeo!
We invite you to join us for a set of presentations on Ruby programming
and Ruby culture. Confirmed speakers include:
* Alex Bunardzic
* Lucas Carlson
* Topher Cyll
* Ryan Davis
* Geoffrey Grosenbach
* Amy Hoy
If you didn't catch it last year, FOSCON is a free and fun gathering of
Ruby fans held in the evening during O'Reilly's Open Source Convention.
The speakers will be discussing a wide range of topics of interest to
the Ruby community. And in case that wasn't enough, pizza will be
provided! We look forward to seeing you there.
