We are pleased to announce that we are accepting talk proposals for the Great Lakes Ruby Bash to be held on Michigan State University’s campus in East Lansing, Michigan on Saturday, April 17th. ``` http://greatlakesrubybash.com/ ``` We’re looking for passionate speakers to give 25 and 40 minute presentations about their experiences with Ruby and related technologies. Our goal is to engage attendees and inspire them to create great software, empower users, and continue learning with others. Submit your proposal by Feb 28th, 2010 at 12:59pm EST.
