Speakers Announced for Ignite RailsConf
Baltimore's Rails community is welcoming this year's RailsConf with an un-official pre-party the evening before RailsConf begins: Ignite RailsConf.
Ignite events are lightning talks, where 16 speakers each get 5 minutes to talk about a subject they are passionate about, but with a twist: the speaker's slides are automatically advanced every 15 seconds. Ignite's motto is "enlighten us, but be quick about it!"
Ignite RailsConf kicks off on 6/6/10 at 6 pm at the Sheraton Inner Harbor (300 South Charles Street, Baltimore, MD), which is connected to the convention center where RailsConf is taking place.
Here's who will be speaking:
- Chris Wanstrath - How To Bootstrap a Business
