Rails Talk at 'Open Source Meets Business' January 21st

I’ll be giving a Rails Talk at the Heise conference Open Source Meets Business taking place January 23rd through January 26th in Nuremberg, Germany.

While the target audience for the conference is “CIOs, CTOs, and IT decision makers”, my talk will be during the Technology Summit on Wednesday, January 24th so I’ll try to address both the developer and the decision maker alike. And I have only been given 20 minutes to do so, which will be a tough game given all the additional goodness and blessings we received with Rails 1.2 the other day.

My talk starts at 2:30 PM on said Wednesday. If you’re in the area or already plan to attend the congress, feel free to stop by and say ‘Hi!’.

Slides will of course be available shortly after the talk.

Update 25/01: Slides are available here. (Mostly German, of course.)

Is it bad karma if you choose rail-based transportation to a conference to give a talk about Rails and then that transportation delays your transit 2 hours each direction and puts it off to the fact that there’s finally a teensy bit of snow on this side of the planet? Yay, Deutsche Bahn.
