Greetings from LSRC 2008

The second annual Lone Star Ruby Conference  
is now accepting speaker proposals for the  
Sep 4-6 conference in Austin, TX.

All Ruby-related topics will be considered.  
Speakers will receive free admission to the  
conference and the training sessions.

Speakers:  
To submit a proposal for a 45-minute session,  
please provide the following:

Name  
Phone Number  
Title  
Abstract (\< 500 words)  
Email the above to: submit _at_ [LoneStarRubyconf.com](http://LoneStarRubyconf.com)

This year we have added an optional day of  
hands-on training on the first day of the conference.  
Trainers will receive free admission to the conference,  
as well as compensation (amount TBD) for training.

Courses can be either 3hr (half day) or  
6hr (full day). It is recommended that courses  
be team taught.

Trainers:  
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. An idea  
course submission will contain practical skills  
that participants can take away and begin using  
immediately to improve their coding.

To submit your proposal, please provide the following:

Name(s)  
Phone Number(s)  
Course Length (3 or 6 hr)  
Course Title  
Curriculum Outline (1 to 2 pages per 3hr class)  
Email the above to: submit _at_ [LoneStarRubyconf.com](http://LoneStarRubyconf.com)

Proposals are due May 3, 2008.

If you have questions, please contact Jim F. at
