Hello all!  
I’m really excited to announce that the Ruby Hoedown (sponsored by  
Engine Y. and Hashrocket) has completed its CFP and has selected  
talks. Here are the selections:

```
 Archaeopteryx: A Ruby MIDI Generator (Giles B.)
 Ruby: A Year of Innovation (Gregg P. & Jason Seifer)
 flog << Test.new (Rick B.)
 Ruby Best Practice Patterns (Rein H.)
 The Future is Now: Leveraging the Cloud with Ruby (Robert D.)
 Ruleby: the Rule Engine for Ruby (Joe K.)
 Call Your Code: Gluing Phone Calls to Ruby (Troy Davis)

```

We’ll also be having a Charity Tutorial Breakfast with Jim W. /  
Joe O`Brien where they’ll discuss mocking (who does it, why do it, why  
it’s cool, and when it sucks!) with us. You won’t want to miss it!
