Hi,

After the success of the last two editions (about 30 sessions and 200  
attendants every year) we are pleased to announce the third edition of  
the Rails Conference ([http://www.conferenciarails.org](http://www.conferenciarails.org)) for Spanish  
speakers, to be held in Madrid, Spain, on November 13th and 14th 2008.

The official language of the conference is Spanish (no translation  
provided), although sessions in English from relevant members of the  
community are welcome.

The call for papers finishes by September 29th.

This conference is an excellent meeting point for everybody doing  
professional development with Rails in Spanish-speaking markets and a  
good opportunity to put a face to some of the nicknames and e-mails you  
see on irc and mailing lists.

Sessions will be distributed in two different tracks covering technical  
sessions (45 minutes + 10 for Q&A), and success cases (20 + 10 mins). We  
also have an extra room available for lighting talks to be used on  
demand during the conference.

Registration is not open yet, but if you are planning to attend be sure  
to subscribe to our blog or follow the twitter user “conferenciaror”.  
All the official announcements will be posted both in the blog and  
twitter (with the permission of the white whale 😉 ).

The conference is organized by a group of volunteers without a  
commercial interest and we have support from some local sponsors, so the  
price is kept at the minimum necessary to cover the expenses of  
infrastructure, catering and security.

We are still negotiating with the sponsors, and we don’t know the price  
for this year yet, but last year it was €75, including the pass for both  
days, two meals and a commemorative t-shirt. All the attendants,  
including speakers and members of the organization board, are subject to  
the registration fee.

For those not attending, we will be live-streaming the sessions and  
we’ll make available the videos at the conference’s web. The archives  
for the previous editions are available at  
[http://2006.conferenciarails.org/](http://2006.conferenciarails.org/) and [http://2007.conferenciarails.org/](http://2007.conferenciarails.org/)

You can find all the information (in Spanish) at

Looking forward to seeing you there!
