Registration is open for the Great Lakes Ruby Bash, but given that we  
have to give our caterer the lunch order in advance, sign up by Monday  
evening to guarantee your lunch. We have people traveling here to  
attend from as far away as Chapel Hill, NC and Denver, CO.

The Great Lakes Ruby Bash is the successor to RubyConf\*MI, one of the  
first ever regional Ruby conferences. This is a one-day conference  
that will contain a mix of 30-minute and 1-hour talks, covering Ruby,  
Rails, and related topics.

Attendance is $50 and includes lunch (only guaranteed if you register  
by Monday, October 6th, 11:59pm).
