New speakers
Avast ye mateys! Good news, the captain has found some new speakers!
When confronted with my sword and given the choice of walking the plank or giving an interesting Arrrr talk, these speakers are also coming to ArrrrCamp:
- Sean Cribbs - Former Radiant lead developer
- Cristi Duma - Man behind RadiantCasts
- Timothy Payton - Xing developer, Wallsome creator
- Sebastian Roebke - Xing developer, Wallsome creator
Also take a look at the Speaker page for more information of the speakers, so you know what to talk about when you bump into them.
Our Early Bird tickets are selling like hot cannonballs, and today we sold the last one, so from now on only regular tickets are available, for 55 EUR (VAT inclusive)

Speakers announced, and ticket sale online
Ahoy mateys, the captain has news. Big news. News the size of the masts of LeChucks and Jack Sparrows ships combined!
We are taking ArrrrCamp to the next level, as per your own requests. We scouted the bars at the docks, and found some fairly-sober people willing to join our crew. And not just some ordinary deckhands, even your captain feels small and humble knowing that he will set sail together with these mateys...
If all goes well, the next edition of ArrrrCamp will welcome the following speakers:
- Yehuda Katz - member of the Ruby on Rails core team and the jQuery Core Team, lead developer of the Merb project, and a core contributor to DataMapper.
- Carl Lerche - a software engineer at Engine Yard, a member of the Merb team (currently working on Rails 3), and a contributor to many OSS projects
- Drew Neil - creator of the vimcasts, and core contributer to Radiant CMS.
- Joseph Wilk - member of the Cucumber core team
Alas, mateys, ArrrrCamp #4 cannot be free. Ticket sales start today, at a 3-week early-bird (limited to 50 tickets) sales price of 42 euro. Normal ticket price will be 55 euro per ticket. Book your seat now!
If people are interested in contributing financially to ArrrrCamp, contact the captain to discuss sponsoring opportunities.
The schedule has changed, you have to mark all of friday October 29th in your agenda (and not just the afternoon, as for the previous editions). The venue stays the same: the Zebrastraat meeting center in Ghent - Belgium.
(*) pirating suffered from the recent financial crisis - less dubloons were robbed from the trade ships, blonde virgins didn't sell as well as before, and the price of cannon balls, gunpowder and entering-hooks went sky-rocketing.

Set Sail for the 29th of October
As we already announced during the last edition, the next edition of ArrrrCamp will take place the 29th of October, and there will be some big and exciting changes!
First of all, it will be a whole day, starting around 9 AM and ending with a drink at the bar around 6 PM.
Secondly, as you all requested, we have contacted some foreign Rubyists to come speak. People at the heart of the Rails, Radiant & Ruby community.
Sadly, because of this, we will not be able to keep the conference free, but we are trying to keep the ticket price as low as possible (we're thinking €35 at the moment.).
