Ruby Hoedown (Free Ruby conference) speakers announced (rubyhoedown.com)

I went to Hoedown last year. Nashville is a really fun city, for those who haven't been. And since this year the conference hotel is right in the middle of downtown, all the better.

It's amazing the work that Jeremy puts into this free conference. Please consider attending and supporting this great Southeast Ruby institution! It's been around for a long time, and they've been getting better and better each year.

+1 luigi and bigfleet. The conf being in downtown Nashville (rather than at the Opryland hotel) this year is going to provide a whole different experience. Downtown Nashville is fun, fun, fun. See you all there!

Welcome one and all. We had a great time last year and look forward to another awesome event program via the über-cool cat, Mr. Jeremy McAnally. OG will be putting together another what-the-hell-do-i-do-in-nashville event guide in the coming month. See you all soon!

"Homesteading" is a new term to me. Of course, it's much better than "A nice Italian Restaurant in the webspace".

Not sure I like the old-timey feeling of the word. I'll probably stick with "Small SaaS" until a better term comes along.
