- Syed Talat Fakhri, MindValley's Mathematician, will take over the 2nd main presentation slot with an engaging talk on using higher mathematics in your web 2.0 application. Bring your CRUD app to the next level with Machine Learning with Support Vector Machines, Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) aka Latent Semantic Indexing and clustering. I just made up that description, but those were the stuff along the lines what we talked about over GTalk.
- Lightning Talk: Aslak Gronflaten will introduce Erlang to the unwashed Ruby masses in his Lightning Talk
- Lightning Talk: Khailee will showcase BunchOut (http://kl.bunchout.com/ ) and why Malaysia.rb members need to go out more often ;) Oh, and maybe how a designer person like himself worked with Rails developers
- Lightning Talk: I will be doing a quick demo on how to make your Rails app bloody fast with the help of memcache and the Interlock plugin
