Hi all – More tickets for RubyConf will be going on sale today (thanks to some space-juggling). We’re going to sell them for one week or until we run out of room, whichever comes first.

That just seems really backwards to me. ---

I could understand if it were more like: - limited seats are opened and call for talks is still open - proposals closed - speakers and schedule announced - all remaining seats are opened for registration but I’m with Ryan and James (and _many_ others) who don’t understand the current situation. -Rob Rob B. removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid [http://AgileConsultingLLC.com/](http://AgileConsultingLLC.com/) removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid [http://GaslightSoftware.com/](http://GaslightSoftware.com/) ---

I’m ok with it, I trust them to put together a good lineup. The problem I’m having is that the hotel doesn’t have rooms available at the conference rate. Does anyone know of nearby hotels that are cheaper? I’m planning on driving, so even a few miles away would work. – Matt It’s not what I know that counts. It’s what I can remember in time to use. ---

We’ll start at 9:00 on Thursday, and end around 4:00 on Saturday. As for the ticket sales and schedule and so on, it’s just how it played out this year. Usually it isn’t that way, but I’m not too worried about it since at this point it’s pretty well-known what kind of program we offer, if not the details of every talk. We’re well on the way to finishing up the schedule. David – David A. Black, Senior Developer, Cyrus Innovation Inc.
