CALL FOR FEEDBACK We're trying to keep the costs down. (We expect it to cost somewhere in the $200-$250 range). The more people that attend, the more we can spread out the fixed expenses. So, we really need to know if you're planning/hoping to attend. Fill in the pre-registration form at http://www.rubyconf.org/register.php and give us your details. We will use this information to plan further. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Think about giving some kind of presentation, or organizing a workshop. Contact an organizer at http://www.rubyconf.com/contact.php If you have any other ideas, mention them!
