Subject: Re: [ANN] RubyConf 2005 Preregistration now open!

Woo-ha! I just pre-reg'd. Everybody else should, too. To echo DHH's 
endorsement below: Rubyists are both among the smartest programmers 
you'll meet, and the nicest, and both of those qualities are on ample 
display at RubyConf. I've attended for the past two years, and each 
time I've gone I've found it immensely educating, inspiring, and just 
plain fun.
