Hi everybody – I’m happy to report that registration is now open for RubyConf 2008, produced by Ruby Central, Inc., and to be held November 6-8 in Orlando, Florida. The program is posted and looks amazing. We’ve got - keynote and Q&A with Matz - an evening talk by Dave T. - entire day-long “Implementors’ Track” with presentations by the architects of YARV (the Ruby 1.9 VM), JRuby, IronRuby, Rubinius, and MagLev - a lightning talk track (bring your 5-minute talk!) - and about 50 other presentations by the likes of Jim W., Nathaniel T., Gregg P., Eric H., Rich Kilmer, and many more. It’s the world’s premier gathering of Ruby experts, and the program is absolutely awesome. You can register for RubyConf at: [https://www.regonline.com/rubyconf2008](https://www.regonline.com/rubyconf2008) and there’s full info about the event and the program at: [http://2008.rubyconf.org](http://2008.rubyconf.org) If you have any questions you can write directly to me, or to removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid.
