Speakers for the main sessions of RailsConf 2008 are available now. A number of Columbus/Cincinnati Rubyists are showing: Jim Weirich, Joe O’Brien, Aaron Bedra, Dan Manges. I wish I could go. Oh well, maybe next year

On another note, Blip TV has a number of the keynotes from RailsConf 2007 online.
