Our New Silver Sponsor: New Relic

I'm very pleased that New Relic have been kind enough to sponsor our conference! New Relic have been busy doing some great things recently: RailsLab, an educational resource focused on Rails performance and scaling has recently produced an excellent series of screencasts by Gregg Pollack, and they also recently launched a new version of their RPM product.
New Relic is the leading provider of Rails application performance solutions. New Relic's RPM is used by more than 1500 Rails organizations to monitor, tune and troubleshoot their applications. Try RPM Lite for free at http://www.newrelic.com/RPMlite.html

Tutorial / Workshop

I'd really like to organise a tutorial / workshop for the day before or after the conference. I've posted a few thoughts about it on the google groups forum, and I'd really like to hear your ideas.
Would you rather it take place before or after the conference? What format or topic would you be interested in? Would you be happy to make a donation to charity, or do you want it to be free?
If you are interested in attending, or if you have any thoughts or suggestions, please let me know, or see what other people think on the forum.

Speaker Topics: Your Ideas

Thanks so much for the speaker proposals that have already been submitted!

I've updated the Speaker RFP page with a few more details, based on some of the questions I've received.

I've also set up a special discussion forum, where you can let us know what you would like like to hear, and comment on other ideas.

You can vote up the topics you like and add comments, questions or suggestions. If there is a topic that interests you, but it is not listed, please add it! 

Hopefully this will be a great place for speakers to get inspiration and feedback, and delegates to suggest topics that they want to hear more about. I hope you like it!

Join In

In case you missed it in the big announcement, we are still looking for speakers, and are keen to hear your ideas.

If you have a great idea for a talk, the Request for Proposals page has more information for speakers.

However, if you don't want to talk yourself, we would still like to hear from you: Please tell us what topics interest you the most. You can e-mail, leave a comment, or better still, join our google group and start a discussion.

You can help shape the conference too. There are lots of other topics coming up soon - I'll be adding more info when I draw breath.
