REGISTRATION CUTOFF: JUNE 11
For all those still working the kinks out of their summer schedule, a
friendly FYI that we have a registration cut-off date of June 11th,
should there still be tickets left at that point.
IT'S A DATE
Why go to a conference if you can just read a book or watch a podcast?
It's a valid question, and Jon Dahl at RailSpikes does a great job of
tackling it.

SUCH A TEASE
We've launched a 'Talks' page, which will be updated with digest
abstracts until the final schedule is posted. Many of the speakers are actively soliciting
talk subject proposals; this is your chance to see Obie Fernandez cook
a squirrel 'Wok With Yan' style, or convince Zed Shaw to have us rent
Sumo suits for a battle royale. We're up for just about anything that
won't get us shut down or arrested.
LOVE ONE ANOTHER
Pages have been set up on social networks for committed RubyFringers.

Vision
We believe that the most important function of a geek conference is to encourage networking between smart people doing awesome stuff. We have plans to keep everyone engaged for the entire duration of the event, with several meals as well as after-hours socializing covered.
We want this to be a moment in time that people talk about for years to come.
Deep nerd tech with punk rock spirit.
