Keynote: I've made a huge mistake

Keynote: Ruby Hero Awards
There are many people in the Ruby/Rails world who contribute to our community and rarely receive any recognition or payment for their work.
They create educational content, develop plugins & gems, contribute to open source projects, and even put on events which help educate and make our lives as developers easier.
Ruby Heroes was created to show some gratitude and give these people the recognition they deserve. Hopefully the type of recognition that keeps them doing what they’re doing, and continuing to make our community stronger.

Keynote: Ruby Rogues Live
by David Brady, James Edward Gray II, Avdi Grimm, Josh Susser and Charles Max Wood
Ruby's favorite podcast comes to RailsConf! Join the Ruby Rogues (David Brady, James Edward Gray II, Avdi Grimm, Josh Susser, and Charles Max Wood) for this live episode on What Rails Developers Should Care About.
If you've listened to the show, you probably know that the Rogues favor:
- Good Object Oriented design
- Patterns
- Test Driven Development
- The Law of Demeter and Tell, Don't Ask
- Open source
- Beautiful code
- Pair programming
- Code metrics
- Scaling performant code
- and more
Since this is a live episode, we want to interact with the audience. Each Rogue will give a brief introduction on what's important to him as a Rubyist on Rails, then we will turn the session over to your questions. We will take them over the Internet and/or live, before and during the show.
All that AND we promise to wear amazing hats!
