Hello everyone,

We are pleased to announce that registration for this year's
International Ruby Conference is now open at http://www.rubyconf.org/.

The agenda has been posted at http://www.rubyconf.org/agenda.html.  It
looks to be one of the most exciting programs to date. 
Pre-registration numbers are amazingly high in contrast to years past.
 All signs point to this year's conference standing out as a turning
point.

Due to potentially high attendance, it's advisable to make hotel
reservations early (see registration page for details).

If you would like to sponsor RubyConf, please see
http://www.rubycentral.org/pledge/.  We are looking for sponsors for a
number of items, including meals and travel arrangements for Matz. 
O'Reilly (http://www.oreilly.com) has generously agreed to sponsor
lunch on the opening day of the conference.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
