Hey folks,

Unfortunately I’m not at RailsConf but if there are enough people  
interested in PDF generation in Ruby / Rails, please consider using  
the BoF sessions or some other time to get together and share thoughts  
about how PDF generation in Ruby can be better, and then have someone  
post notes from your discussions to the Prawn mailing list[0].

There are already a bunch of folks watching Prawn’s development on  
github, and I’ve already got a bunch of helpful contributions in the  
form of code and sample PDFs. If we could keep that momentum up,  
that’d be great.

So, if someone could head up a little Prawn discussion in my absence,  
that’d be excellent. Keep in mind that because of the Ruby Mendicant  
project[2], I am working on Prawn as my primary responsibility until  
September, so this is a unique opportunity to get someone to possibly  
work on things you want for free. 🙂

If someone at RailsConf wants to set a meeting up, and it’s at a time  
where I’m around, I’d be happy to hop on IRC or phone in to chat about  
the project, so email me if you’re interested in doing that.

Have fun at conf, those who are there.
