That's 29 days. > It's certainly my fault if I only saw the "ten day warning email", but I've also heard from a number of other folks who didn't know proposals were due until the date was nearly upon them. In the future I'd suggest including folks who previously presented on the announcement list, since I am generally not able to scan every ruby-talk email that comes through. I'd been looking forward to presenting (and others had been looking forward to seeing me present) and was checking every couple weeks...but in this case I missed something and didn't know until days before the deadline. Granted, I didn't get in because I crossed up my dates anyway, but I would have started the process sooner had I known. At any rate, I won't hold anyone else responsible for my incompetence. -- Contribute to RubySpec! @ www.headius.com/rubyspec Charles Oliver Nutter @ headius.blogspot.com Ruby User @ ruby.mn JRuby Developer @ www.jruby.org Application Architect @ www.ventera.com ------=_Part_50556_22627400.1154100606466--
