Despite my proposal for a hands&#45;on tutorial on JRuby deployment not getting accepted for RailsConf, I&#8217;ve been asked to fill one of the Sun&#45;sponsored talk slots again&#46; So, much like <a href="/articles/2007/10/06/railsconf-europe-hydra">RailsConf EU last fall</a>, if you come listen I promise you will not get a heavy sales pitch from me! Do stop by, I may even have a couple goodies in store for you&#46;</p> <p>I also feel privileged to be speaking at <a href="http://rubyfringe.com/speakers#nick_sieger">RubyFringe</a> this summer, where I haven&#8217;t yet determined exactly what I&#8217;ll be talking about (although it will probably have some connection to JRuby)&#46;</p> <p>Hope to see you at one of these upcoming events!</p> <p><em>Update:</em> We just re&#45;jiggered the schedule of 3 JRuby&#45;related talks at JavaOne, including mine, so that they flow better from beginning to end of the week&#46; My talk is now on Thursday morning instead of Wednesday morning&#46; In addition, <a href="https://www28.cplan.com/cc191/session_details.jsp?isid=295416&amp;ilocation_id=191-1&amp;ilanguage=english">Charlie and Tom&#8217;s</a> is on Tuesday, and <a href="https://www28.cplan.com/cc191/session_details.jsp?isid=294806&amp;ilocation_id=191-1&amp;ilanguage=english">Ola&#8217;s</a> is on Wednesday&#46; If you&#8217;re attending JavaOne and are interested in JRuby&#45;related talks, please make sure you log into Schedule Builder and re&#45;check your schedule&#46;</p>
