Hi everyone –

If you haven’t already seen it, the schedule is posted for RailsConf  
Europe 2008; you can find it at [http://www.railsconfeurope.com](http://www.railsconfeurope.com), along  
with other information about dates and registration.

Speaking of which – the conference is September 2-4 (one day of  
tutorials and two days of talks and keynotes) in Berlin. Early  
registration (save 150 Euros) goes until July 15.

The conference is produced jointly by Ruby Central, Inc. and O’Reilly  
Media. It’s the “perfect storm” conjunction of conference production:  
world-class event and on-site management by the O’Reilly conference  
team, and program/schedule development by Ruby Central, producers  
since 2001 of RubyConf and co-producers since 2006 of RailsConf and  
RailsConf Europe. And it’s in Berlin, which is an incredibly cool and  
fascinating city.

The latest schedule addition is a Q&A panel discussion, on the evening  
of the 2nd, with DHH and Rails core members Jeremy K. and Michael  
Koziarski (and any others who may drop by! 🙂 It’s a great way to  
kick off the conference – except that the real kickoff is Monday  
night’s “Bratwurst on Rails” sausagefest, arranged for us by Jetaido  
GmbH and the members of the Berlin Ruby U. Group.

The lineup of talks is great and speaks for itself. We’ve got keynote  
presentations by DHH and Jeremy, and around forty talks (that’s up  
about 15% from last year) full of interesting, timely topics, and  
speaker names you’ll recognize. (If you read this list, I absolutely  
promise that that’s true!)

Register soon! See you there –

David A. Black  
Program Chair, RailsConf Europe 2008  
Director, Ruby Central, Inc.
