I heard about the success that was RejectConf which was put on in  
parallel to RubyConf for all those who’s presentation proposals got shot  
down. I definitely interested in seeing something like this put together  
for RailsConf and I’ll volunteer to present as well. I’m sure other  
people would want to get in on the action as well.

Who’s interested? Who’d be willing to organize it?

I heard that Robby R. ([http://robbyonrails.com/](http://robbyonrails.com/)) purchased the  
domain [rejectconf.com](http://rejectconf.com) - I’d expected he’d at least have some interesting  
in organising (plus he’s a local Portlander).

Latest I heard no one had organised anything and the vibe is it will be
