We always enjoy seeing Ola at conferences, this is a good review of what happened at RailsConf Europe:

Overall I had a very good time at RailsConf this year. It’s a worlds difference from RailsConf last year in London, which I felt was a real waste. This year the energy was high, much interesting things going on and lots of nice and smart people.

Day three of RailsConf Europe is reviewed:

We were also informed that the RailsConf Europe 2008 will be in Berlin as well. All I can say is I expect to be there next year (and maybe Portland, too), and that I’ll be writing a post recapping my impressions on this year’s RailsConf Europe, which has been very interesting, and of course, a lot of fun.

Another great review for RailsConf Europe:

It’s always a difficult undertaking who you’re trying to attract with such a specialized conference like RailsConf, being about a specific framework in a specific area of development (The Web). Go too technical and lose the beginners. Stay too broad or basic and lose those who have been following for years. With RailsConf Europe 2007, I think the balance was basically pretty much spot on.

This is the kind of feedback the RailsConf Europe conference team loves to get:

That was RailsConf Europe 2007. It was way to soon over, but never the less it was a great experience. For Andi and me this was the first time we attended any conference and our expectations got surpassed. The atmosphere at the conference was just great, so next year we will be back for sure.

Nick was a speaker at RailsConf Europe but also authored the following blog about DHH:

Rails is no longer the James Dean character, looking outward, trying to convince you of something. It’s no longer about a rebellion or a revolution. Instead, Rails is settling in as a passionate, inward-looking craftsperson.

Here is a review of DHH’s keynote at RailsConf Europe:

This year, DHH noted that he up until now had started all his previous keynotes about Rails celebrating how “freakin’ fantastic we are”. For this keynote, he thought - with Rails being well within in its third year in existence - that it was time to perhaps be happy with what we have.

A nice story on the upcoming Money:Tech Conference:

O’Reilly announced a new addition to its conference roll with Money:Tech, which will take place in New York in February 2008. This event brings some excitement back to a market that’s been out of favor with Silicon Valley’s cognoscenti since the burst of the Internet bubble and the e-brokerage consolidation.

Roger Ehrenberg joins the debate and mentions Money:Tech:

My Infectiously Greedy friend Paul Kedrosky, major domo of the upcoming Money:Tech conference, ripped out a little ditty where he implied that developers were becoming even more important and prevalent at hedge funds than at software companies.

Dr. Roy T. Fielding of Day Software keynoted here at RailsConf Europe. I just had breakfast with him here in Berlin and he told me he’s delighted to be attending a “sold-out” conference. I suspect having this ground breaking software engineer in our midst had something to do with the conference attendance! Here is the release issued from his firm:

Day Software (SWX: DAYN, OTCQX: DYIHY), a leading provider of global content management and infrastructure software, today announced its chief scientist, Dr. Roy T.
