The Spanish community Rails conference (aka Conferencia Rails) is so close! Last week we opened the register (what are you waiting for?), late than usual, but this year everything is a little bit more messy, because this year the conference is growing in a lot of aspects:

  • this year we are moving to Vicálvaro, a village close to Madrid, to allow more attendees that past years (up to 250)
  • we have 3 international keynoters: Yehuda Katz, David Black and Nathaniel Talbott
  • also there are coming people from the States, like Scott Chacon from Github, or Obie Fernandez and the UK (surprise, surprise...)
  • we are having an extra day of workshops

In spite of all the "anglo-attendees", the most of the talks will be in Spanish, and we are trying to make a calendar with talks in English and Spanish, not both in English at the same time.

There is a lot of diversity in the topics of this year: git, jruby, cucumber, sinatra, ruby 1.9, rails 3, internazionalization, key-value storages, ror-es mailing list, and so on... In fact, I'm so excited, and I think (I know which are the talks of this year) it is, maybe, one of the best editions of this conference.
