Just a quick reminder here folks. Our Call for Proposals for the Red  
Dirt RubyConf ([http://reddirtrubyconf.com/](http://reddirtrubyconf.com/)) is now half over. You only  
have a couple of weeks left to get those ideas in.

Currently, the Rails 3 theme ([Twenty Ways To Optimize Slow MySQL for Faster Insert Rate - SEO Explorer's Blog](http://reddirtrubyconf.com/theme/rails3))  
is trailing the others in submissions. If you would like to talk about  
some of the new Rails 3 change (or any of our other themes) we would  
love to have you.

You can submit at: [Twenty Ways To Optimize Slow MySQL for Faster Insert Rate - SEO Explorer's Blog](http://reddirtrubyconf.com/call_for_proposals)

Thanks!

Just FYI, I’m sure Charlie would be surprised and pleased, but your  
HTML at the top of your conference page reads “Red Dirt Duby  
Conference”.

Yeah, we just knew that get Charles to submit a proposal and yet he is  
still missing in action! 😃

Thanks for pointing out the error. All fixed now.
