I just wanted to make sure the Rails community is aware of the Red  
Dirt RubyConf ([http://reddirtrubyconf.com/](http://reddirtrubyconf.com/)). While we are a “Ruby”  
conference, we’ve planned a lot of Rails content with entire sections  
on Rails 3 ([Twenty Ways To Optimize Slow MySQL for Faster Insert Rate - SEO Explorer's Blog](http://reddirtrubyconf.com/theme/rails3)), Servers/Hosting  
([Twenty Ways To Optimize Slow MySQL for Faster Insert Rate - SEO Explorer's Blog](http://reddirtrubyconf.com/theme/servers)), and NoSQL (http://  
[Twenty Ways To Optimize Slow MySQL for Faster Insert Rate - SEO Explorer's Blog](http://reddirtrubyconf.com/theme/nosql)) which may interest some of you.

Surprisingly, our Rails 3 theme has only received a couple of  
submissions so far. If you would be interested in giving a Rails 3  
talk, please consider submitting a proposal (http://  
[Twenty Ways To Optimize Slow MySQL for Faster Insert Rate - SEO Explorer's Blog](http://reddirtrubyconf.com/call_for_proposals)). You have excellent chances  
of being selected at this point and we would welcome the content.

We’re trying hard to have the first big conference coverage of Rails  
3, since it’s at least one fourth of our planned program. We would  
really appreciate any help to make that happen.

Thanks!

Never mind. I found it. It’s a very small link in the footer; however,  
registration is not available yet.

Correct. We plan to open registration on March 5th when we have the  
program locked in.

That’s what we are working on now.
