FOSCON II: The Ruby Rodeo July 26, 2006

PDX.rb presents… FOSCON II: The Ruby Rodeo

We invite you to join us for a set of presentations on Ruby programming and Ruby culture. Confirmed speakers include:

* Alex Bunardzic
* Lucas Carlson
* Topher Cyll
* Ryan Davis
* Geoffrey Grosenbach
* Amy Hoy

If you didn’t catch it last year, FOSCON is a free and fun gathering of Ruby fans held in the evening during O’Reilly’s Open Source Convention. Photos from last year’s event can be found on Flickr (http://flickr.com/photos/tags/foscon).

The speakers will be discussing a wide range of topics of interest to the Ruby community. And in case that wasn’t enough, pizza will be provided! We look forward to seeing you there.
