From: Jeremy McAnally Date: 2008-07-08T13:59:17+09:00 Subject: [ANN][ADV] Ruby Hoedown 2008 - Hotel information, group/student discounts, and more! Hello all, The Ruby Hoedown (the southeastern regional Ruby conference, sponsored by Engine Yard and Hashrocket) is just over a month away, and we have a few things to announce today. First of all, due to popular demand, we're now offering user group, work place, and student discounts. These usually range from $50-$100 (depending on how many people you're sending). If you send enough people from your employer or user group, you could all go for $99 each! Drop an e-mail to organizers@rubyhoedown.com and we'll get the ball rolling (which really just entails us making a custom discount code for you). Secondly, we now have our hotel and entertainment information up on the website. Check out http://www.rubyhoedown.com/ to see what's available! Lastly, registration is open until and through the first day of the conference just in case you were wondering. ;) You can still register here for $199: http://rubyhoedown.eventwax.com/ruby-hoedown-2008/register . You don't want to miss talks from Jim Weirich, David Black, Chris Wanstrath, Joe O'Brien and a host of others! Thanks and e-mail me or reply here if you have any questions!
