Railscamp New England
February 15th, 2010
Ted plugged the upcoming Railscamp NE event earlier tonight. So I thought I’d post some more information in case anyone is interested. I would strongly recommend attending if you’re able to. This was probably the single best tech event I attended last year. For serious.
- Where: West Greenwich, RI (W. Alton Jones Campus)
- When: March 12 – 15, 2010
- Cost: $150
- railscamps.com | sign up
Arrive Friday evening, leaving Monday morning (or anywhere in-between). The $150 price includes lunch and dinner for Saturday and Sunday. Those will allergies or special dietary needs can be accommodated.
Housing is provided on campus, there are small lodges with single beds. Spouses and significant others are encouraged to attend. We have some limited capacity for private rooms this time, so first come first serve on the private rooms. (couples only)
- You must bring your own pillows and sheets
- You must bring your own toiletries
- You must bring your own towels
Intranet Wifi will be available throughout the camp, with no access to the outside internet. We hope to encourage people to seek out other developers and start a dialogue to get things done. No formal format as a regular conference, if you have material you wish to present you can do so, gather people and present and get feedback.
We should probably have an image of Gemcutter running locally, hopefully an image of Rdoc.info and Bannajour as well as the local Twitter client.
All skill levels are welcome and encouraged to attend. If you’re just learning it is a great opportunity to learn from others and make friends with many other great Ruby developers. If you’ve been hacking away for years it is a great chance to participate in what will basically be a 3 day hackfest.
Aside from just hacking there will be plenty of fun going on. Last year we had pretty epic RockBand-a-thons going on. On either Saturday or Sunday (we’ll probably pick the day with the best weather) there will be a 5k run on the campus property. (either a road race or on any of the many paths in the woods) Drinking, bon fires, s’mores, Werewolf, Urban Terror LAN-parties and more.
