Black people and women are so linguist. Not submitting talk proposals to Ruby conferences is just disrespectful.

edit: Just found out raganwald submitted a talk proposal to BritRuby. Turns out my racist general remark was entirely misguided and black people might actually not be linguist at all. A shame his talk wasn't accepted. I'd like to hear more about method combinators :)



It's irrelevant anyway since BritRuby didn't get a chance to pick proposals and announce speakers.

They were criticized on their invite list rather than their chosen proposals which were never made public :-(


Wow.. that's even more sad than I thought.

btw, thanks for scrolling down to see my comment, it was lonely down here :D


Haha, I did see it at the time, but on a revisit I noticed your update so I thought it was worth pointing out ;-)
