RubyConf Australia 2013 Update

[Keith Pitty]

For those of you who are interested in RubyConf Australia 2013 but are not on the mailing list or following @rubyconf_au on Twitter, here's an update.

Talks CFP

=======

The deadline for talk proposals is fast approaching.  We have received many excellent proposals so far and, if you're considering submitting yours, please head over to Github (https://github.com/rubyaustralia/rubyconfau-2013-cfp) now and follow the instructions.  You have until October 31 to submit your pull request.  We will be aiming to select talks by mid-November.

Workshops

========

As announced earlier, Dave Thomas will be running an Advanced Ruby workshop on Wednesday, February 20.  Also on that day, thanks to the initiative of Robert Postill, we are delighted to announce that a RailsGirls event will be held.

We expect to be able to make further announcements soon about other workshops.  If you have a full or half-day workshop that you would like to run, please submit your proposal via Github (https://github.com/rubyaustralia/rubyconfau-2013-tutorials-cfp).

Also, we are keen to hear about content you would like included in a workshop.  Please let us know (http://rubyconfau.wufoo.com/forms/rubyconf-australia-workshop-proposals/).

Early Bird Tickets

=============

Tickets for RubyConf Australia 2013 will be very reasonably priced.  If you're keen to maximise your bang for buck, you will be pleased to know that early bird tickets will go on sale in the first week of November.  Stay tuned for further details!

Cheers,

Keith Pitty

Keith, I've been seeing a lot of people +1ing the pull requests on Github… this could simply be seen as a popularity contest for trying to get your talk to become selected.

Does this hold any baring on the talks that are selected? 

Disclaimer: I do not have a talk submission for RubyConf Australia.

Eh? My biggest complaint is that we're not using enough emoji!

Check out the emoji and +1ing that happened with the Sapporo RubyKaigi
2012 CFP, such as https://github.com/sprk2012/sprk2012-cfp/pull/72 and
https://github.com/sprk2012/sprk2012-cfp/pull/52
