200 Seats for the Rumble
August 30th, 2008
We’re thrilled to announce 200 seats will be available for the Rails Rumble this year!
Through the generosity of our sponsors, Linode and GitHub, we’re able to offer 200 seats for the Rails Rumble this year. Linode is providing 200 Xen powered virtual servers (Linode 360s, to be exact) to deploy your awesome application on. GitHub has matched that donation with 200 private repositories to store your awesome source code in. How awesome is that? (A: pretty awesome!)
Registration will open shortly. Last year, we had 140 teams register for the Rails Rumble. Watch this space or subscribe to our feed and be ready to claim your spot in the Rumble!
August 31st, 2008 at 11:32 PM Can you elaborate a little more on "shortly": do you mean hours, a day, days, a week...? With the US holiday tomorrow (Monday) people will be un-connected and off having other fun so I'd recommend not opening registration tomorrow. [Is the self-servingness of this recommendation too evident? :) ]
September 2nd, 2008 at 03:18 PM shortly means in the next week or two - we've still got a few things to get down pat in the sign up process (I'm working on it now infact) - We'll make sure it's at a fairly convenient time for everyone - We really don't want to avoid people who *really* want to do it missing out.
