Subject: [ruby-talk:10159] O'Reilly Open Source Software Convention

FYI.

There is going to be an O'Reilly Open Source Software Convention on July 23-27, 2001, in San 
Diego, California:

Unfortunately, in the Call for Participation, there is no program track 
suitable for Ruby, although maybe someone could slip something in under 
Linux or Apache. The deadline for proposal submissions is Feb. 1. 

    http://conferences.oreilly.com/oscon2001/call.html

It includes these interesting remarks:

    "... This event is the central gathering place for the Open Source
    community to exchange ideas, techniques, and to advance the
    language. ..."

    "... Proposals will be considered in three classes: tutorial
    programs and convention presentations. ..."

Reminds me of the old math joke: "There are 3 types of people--those who 
can count, and those who can't."

Anyway, this is something to keep in mind for next year.
