Once again the Portland Ruby Brigade will be hosting an evening of  
wide ranging talks about Ruby. This year the focus is on people doing  
strange things with Ruby. Strange, of course, is anything just a bit  
outside the usual. If you’ve created a new Ruby-based interface for  
hacking your brand new internet-enabled phone (rPhone anyone?) or  
composed your latest bit of metaprogramming magic, we’d love to hear  
about it.

Rather than having a fixed list of presenters, we’re keeping it  
open-ended and free form. We’ll use the lightning talk inspired  
approach and give you each a 10 minute slot to tell us what you can  
cram in. Make it especially interesting and we might even give you an  
extra minute or two. Let us know (send email to  
removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid) in advance if you are interested in  
presenting or show up early on the 24th to sign up for any remaining  
slots (we’ll hold a few open until the event itself).

This will all be taking place on Tuesday, July 24th, 7:30PM at  
Holocene ([http://www.holocene.org/](http://www.holocene.org/)) here in Portland, Oregon. This  
just happens to be the same week as O’Reilly’s Open Source Convention  
and the final day of Ubuntu Live. So if you’re in town for either of  
those or close enough to come join us anyway, you’re more then  
welcome.

There will be plenty of Ruby fun going on and lots of socializing with  
other people interested in Ruby. Last year, FOSCON II was overflowing.  
We’ve found a new venue to fit you all in, so why would you miss it?
