You can get a feel for the 2007 event by following this link to the Rails 2007 Event page, and while on the site, check out the 2007 speaker presentations. Poking around on this site should also provide some insight as to the types of papers that are selected when you are looking for ideas on a proposal.

Here is a list of topics from the RailsConf Europe site that might help drum up some ideas:

• Time-saving developer productivity tips, tricks, and tools
• Spotlights on important Rails subsystems
• Making the most out of new Rails features
• Rails development case studies, including application rewrites and organizational bootstrapping
• Migrating applications and people from other technologies to Rails
• Gem and plugin highlights
• Patterns and best practices
• Extending Rails

Check out the pictures from 2007 and watch the video below from those who attended the event.

There are three tracks to choose from: iPhone, Mac and IT, each offering a unique set of events and opportunities. For example, those interested in iPhone development will have the chance to visit with Apple engineers and UI designers. You’ll also have an opportunity to talk tech with the people who made this stuff go, pretty cool!
If you are one who has a passion (or growing interest) in development on the Mac platform, the Mac Track is your gig. From information on audio tools to xCode, to troubleshooting your apps with an Apple Engineer, you’ll find it here.

If you come from the IT side of the house the Information Technology track is right up your alley. There will be demos on xSan 2 (SAN file system for Mac OS X), discussions of best-practices for deploying Leopard Server to information on scripting as it applies to automating system routines and things focused on enabling IT operations.

The prices for admission are: $1295 for an individual, $5180 for a pack of five tickets (essentially, buy 4 get one free…and if you need to find a home for that fifth free ticket, I am sure we can help :). You can purchase tickets online for WWDC here.

Sounds like a fantastic opportunity to mingle, learn and dig into all things Mac! Hope to see you there.
