Asp Forum - MountainWest RubyConf 2007: Call For Papers

The MountainWest RubyConf 2007, scheduled for the middle of March
(we'll be publish the final dates in the next week or two), is opening
a call for presenters. We will have about nine 45 minute slots for
talks (with 15 minutes of Q&A/bathroom breaks between them). Ideally,
we'd like to see a good mixture of Ruby and Ruby on Rails talks, with
an emphasis on doing useful stuff and best practices.

Proposals should be submitted to pat.eyler@gmail.com in November and
December of 2006 -- midnight MST (hey, no complaints, that's where we
live) on Dec 31st is the cutoff. No late proposals can be accepted,
no exceptions. A proposal should identify the target audience, give a
short blurb about the presenter, and have a short abstract of the talk
itself. Proposals should provide enough information for a small panel
of judges to use as a basis for selection.

The selection process will take place in early January, and all
submitters will be notified by email by the end of January. We hope
to publish our conference schedule in February.

Feel free to suggest ideas here on the mailing list, but *please* send
submissions to me (pat.eyler@gmail.com) instead of the mailing list.

*sigh* even after we reviewed it a bunch of times, I still ended up not putting
in a location ... it'll be in Salt Lake City.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Salt+Lake+City,+UT&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=5&ll=40.759741,-111.890259&spn=23.194835...

or Salt Lake City, if a place name is good enough ;)

(sorry for not including it on the CFP)

? Eighteen-year-old Tricia Taylor of Detroit was in court in
December 2002 to hear the plea of the illegal alien who caused her to
lose both legs above the knees. Jose Carcamo was driving under the
influence (.08 percent blood alcohol level) and speeding when he drove
over a curb and smashed Taylor into a wall. One report stated that
Carcamo has had 17 violations since 1995. Another noted that he was
drag racing at the time of the crash. It is agreed that the car was
travelling between 50 and 75 miles per hour on a street posted for 25
mph. Taylor's companion Noah Menard suffered a fractured skull and
collarbone, as well as requiring eight pins to reconstruct his mangled
elbow. The INS had twice begun deportation proceeding against Carcamo
to return him to El Salvador, but regrettably did not follow through.
Carcamo will be out of jail in a few years, but Tricia Taylor faces a
lifetime of pain and disability because of another failure of the INS
to remove a dangerous alien. Incidentally, drinking to excess and then
driving is celebrated in Hispanic cultures rather than condemned.
Sentencing Update: On January 13, 2003 Jose Carcamo was sentenced
to 3-5 years in prison. Four months after the crash, Tricia Taylor
still must take pain medication, antibiotics, anti-depressants and
sleeping pills. Chronic bone infection means she may yet lose more of
her right leg. Carcamo sent a note of apology to Taylor and Menard,
but misspelled the names. She responded, "It hurts me every time I see
him. He acts like he's sorry, but you'd think he would know our
names." She is not forgiving, either: "I have my whole life with no
legs ... I'm only 18. He gets no forgiveness."
