PDX.rb presents… FOSCON II: The Ruby Rodeo

We invite you to join us for a set of presentations on Ruby programming and Ruby culture. Confirmed speakers include:

  • Alex Bunardzic
  • Lucas Carlson
  • Topher Cyll
  • Ryan Davis
  • Geoffrey Grosenbach
  • Amy Hoy

If you didn’t catch it last year, FOSCON is a free and fun gathering of Ruby fans held in the evening during O’Reilly’s Open Source Convention. Photos from last year’s event can be found on Flickr

The speakers will be discussing a wide range of topics of interest to the Ruby community. And in case that wasn’t enough, pizza will be provided! We look forward to seeing you there.
