RailsConf 2006 Report 1 – 9:15 AM CDT

The RailsConf 2006 conference being held in Chicago kicked off this morning with a brief introduction by Chad Fowler, Rich Kilmer and David Black talking about the days upcoming events.

They also mentioned that question submission email address for conference attendees to send to the Rails Core team that will review and respond to selected inquiries on the last day of the conference.

David Black quickly discussed the history and objectives of RubyCentral, the primary web repository for Ruby and Rails files. RubyCentral is a non-profit Ruby advocacy group that is accepting tax deductible donations.

The trio closed with a reminder about upcoming RailsConfs in London, UK September 14-15, 2006 and in Denver, CO October 20-22. Individuals interested in speaking at these events should submit their proposals at proposals.rubygarden.org.
