Call for Papers
Dear Ruby on Rails Community,
We are delighted to send you the Call for Papers for the first RailsWay Conference Europe to take place in Berlin, Germany, the coming May! Please find more information below:

Date & Location: May 25-27, 2009, Berlin Congress Center, Berlin, Germany
Submission of session and tutorial proposals at
http://railswaycon.com/input
Submission deadline: February 20, 2009

Why a RailsWay Conference Europe?
With the first publication of our new RailsWay Magazin (www.railsway.de) in December 2008, we have announced a conference - at that time assuming that the European market is ready for two conferences on Rails.
In the meanwhile, it has become obvious, that the RailsWay Conference Europe will be the only European conference this year as the traditional RailsConf has backed out from the European market leaving a gap in the event calendar of the European Rails community.
The RailsWay Conference Europe will focus on cutting edge technologies of the Ruby on Rails world as well as on basics for beginners and best practices for real professional use.
Program Chairs
- Michael Johann (Editor in Chief RailsWay Magazine, Münster/Germany)

Advisory Board:
- Ola Bini (ThoughtWorks, Stockholm/Sweden)
- Mathias Meyer (Freelancer, Berlin/Germany)
