Rails Conf 2008

May 30th, 2008 by comment desi

Hello Ladies,
I am reporting from RailsConf 2008. The main focus of this post is logistics for the conference. I’ll be posting about the talks as soon as I get to attend one. I have been running around trying to take care of DevChix related stuff.

We were unable to get an official room for a BoF but I have decided we will just take over some area of the convention center. Lets meet outside Exhibit Hall E at 7:30 on Saturday night. We can discuss whatever we want to. We are also planning appetizers and cocktails after the BoF. Hashrocket Inc, the company I work for is sponsoring the evening. Thanks Hashrocket!

Please either come to the BoF for more information or find one of the ladies with a DevChix logo on their badges for more information. I will also have stickers to give out (until they run out).

We would love to meet ALL the women developers at the conference so please come out and get to know us.

Cheers
Desi

It’s difficult to find words for this tech gathering, without sounding like an excited child on their birthday. It’s fun, awesome, amazing, unreal, just simply great.

From social issues to soldering, this gathering has the most diverse lineup of things to do and see for techhie type women. Every year it’s held in a different European city, making it even better. I don’t know how to describe it other than saying it’s just the best damn gathering I go to on a regular basis.

Woo! Back to soldering.

Gloria
