I just wanted to remind everyone that the call for proposals for  
GoRuCo ends this Thursday, January 31st, at 11:59pm EST. Full details  
can be found below.

–

GoRuCo, a one-day, single-track event in New York City dedicated to  
everything  
Ruby, is now accepting proposal papers. This conference will be held on  
Saturday, April 26th in the Manhattan campus of Pace University, our  
hosts  
for the day.

It will be a technical conference aimed at highly motivated programmers  
interested in all things Ruby. You’ll spend the day among Rubyists,  
Rails  
developers, and language enthusiasts in New York City, home of Silicon  
Alley.

We will select five speakers to give one hour talks, and invite all  
interested speakers to submit a proposal. Our speakers will receive:

- Free attendance to the event
- A $600 honorarium
- A $600 travel reimbursement if you live outside of New York, New  
Jersey, and Connecticut

We are reserving at least two slots for speakers from New York, New  
Jersey, and Connecticut, so if you live in the tri-state area we  
strongly urge you to submit a proposal.

Talks should be about 50 minutes long, including time for questions  
and discussion. A good proposal paper will include:

- A explanation or outline of your talk.
- A short biographical statement about you and your involvement in  
the Ruby community.
- Your state of residence.

Your proposal does not need to be long, but it should give us the  
information  
necessary to evaluate your talk.

All proposals must specify exactly who will be presenting. For example,  
we will  
not accept proposals from companies unless they specify who will be  
presenting  
on behalf of the company. Presentations may be given by more than one  
person, but  
multiple speakers will split the honorarium and travel reimbursement.

Please send all papers to removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid by 11:59 PM EST on January  
31st, 2008. You should receive confirmation that we have received your  
proposal within 48  
hours of submitting it.

If you have any questions about the proposal process or other conference  
related questions, please email removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid. More information on the  
conference itself to come. Check the conference website
