Lone Star Ruby Conference 2010  
(Thu-Sat) August 26-28, 2010  
Norris Conference Center  
Austin, TX

Greetings

The fourth annual Lone Star Ruby Conference is getting  
under way and the call for speakers is now open.

LSRC is a multi-track, two-day conference with an  
optional training day, and is held in  
the capitol city of the Lone Star State, Austin.

LSRC is known for its first class training at bargain  
basement prices, its heavy hitting keynote speakers  
and its ‘cruise ship’ atmosphere where you munch on the  
best food in Texas while you feast on a bounty of Ruby  
knowlege.

We invite you to become a part of history and submit your  
speaking or training proposal at:

[http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dERwQWxhMG5HalBXaXVsbm9wR2E4RHc6MQ](http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dERwQWxhMG5HalBXaXVsbm9wR2E4RHc6MQ)

We look forward to seeing you at the conference in August.  
Please feel free to email us with your suggestions on  
how we can make this your perfect conference.

========================================

Speakers:  
We invite you to submit a proposal for a 40-minute or a  
7-minute talk. The only requirement is that the topic be  
Ruby related.

Here are a few topics to give you some ideas:

- SQL and Non-SQL databases
- Testing tools and techniques
- Web Frameworks
- Embedded Ruby
- Ruby Success Stories
- Design and coding techniques
- Developer productivity tips and tools
- Patterns and best practices for developing Ruby code
- MRI, Rubinius, JRuby, YARV
- Ruby in the Enterprise
- Ruby in Small Business
- Ruby internals, meta programming
- Data filtering, reporting, parsing

You name it. If it is Ruby related, we want to hear from you.

Please submit your proposal at:

[http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dERwQWxhMG5HalBXaXVsbm9wR2E4RHc6MQ](http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dERwQWxhMG5HalBXaXVsbm9wR2E4RHc6MQ)

Trainers:  
Hands-on training is back this year. Courses can be  
either 3hr (half-day) or 6hr (full-day). It is  
recommended that full-day courses be team taught.

When submitting a course curriculum outline, remember  
that a training course is NOT an extended talk.  
Trainers should provide labs and hands on learning  
experiences for the participants. Your course  
submission should provide practical skills that  
participants can take away and begin using immediately  
to improve their coding.

Please submit your proposal at:

[http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dERwQWxhMG5HalBXaXVsbm9wR2E4RHc6MQ](http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dERwQWxhMG5HalBXaXVsbm9wR2E4RHc6MQ)

Proposals are due May 30, 2010.

Registration for LSRC 2010 will open in early June.

See you in Austin in August!
