Hello all,  
The Ruby Hoedown (the southeastern regional Ruby conference, sponsored  
by Engine Y. 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 removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid 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/](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](http://rubyhoedown.eventwax.com/ruby-hoedown-2008/register)  
. You don’t want to miss talks from Jim W., 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!  
Jeremy
