Who:
Members of the Radiant dev team and community - hopefully you!

More info bellow the fold.

THIS IS NOT A CONFERENCE! The focus is on hacking out a lot of code/design/documentation in a short amount of time. We encourage anyone who can contribute their code, web design, or writing skills to attend. If you'll be coding, we expect a workable knowledge of Rails, RSpec, and Git -- bonus points if you've worked on Radiant before, built extensions, or have experience with RESTful controller design and web-services. If you'll be doing design, we expect a workable knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and image manipulation -- bonus points if you know Haml, Sass, Prototype, Scriptaculous, and LowPro. If you want to do documentation, we expect you to be able to write clearly and use the Radiant wiki -- bonus points if you write clean HTML.

All work and no play makes a dull Rubyist, so rest assured that we'll have some free-time to relax, see the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill sights, eat, drink, and be merry.

If you plan to attend, please fill out this form so we know you're coming: http://rubyurl.com/tAl2

If you will be traveling to North Carolina from out-of-state or need assistance making travel plans, please feel free to contact me privately.

On behalf of John Long and the rest of the dev team, I sincerely hope you can make it!

Cheers,

Sean Cribbs
Lead Developer, Radiant CMS
