Looking forward meeting you all in Chicago! There will be tons of great presentations, here is my selection:

Friday
10:45	Introduction to Capistrano
	Mike Clark is just a great presenter
13:15	??
	Not sure yet
14:30	Monitoring Rails Applications in Production Environments
	Too important to skim that one
15:45	Sneaking Rails into the (legacy) system
	or Goeffrey's Rails Deployment on Shared Hosts
Saturday
09:00	Ajax on Rails
	Let's see what the 'man' has to say
10:15	Lessons from Blinksale and IconBuffet
	I am eagerly waiting for some information on the Blinksale API
11:30	Lucene Eye for the Ruby Guy
	We are using successfully Ferret, but Lee did all the programming, so it's time I do some catching up
14:45	Testing Migrations
	I hesitate between this and the two other talks, but I got bit a couple of time with migrations. So any good advice is welcome.
Sunday
9:00	Beyond DHTML: Introducing Laszlo on Rails
	I am big fan of Flex and Laszlo, now that Laszlo can generate DHTML, let's see what Mike has to say.
10:15	Just the Facts (and Dimensions) -- using Rails with your OLAP data model
	I had the chance of beeing part of a team that pionered the field before it was called that (back in 1987). And now I need to do some more data analysis for the soon to be releases OSX RailsLogAnalyser application (Flex+Rails). Looking forward to this talk.
11:30	Rails Takes on the Enterprise with SOA
	Rails is a tuff sell to the enterprise. They invested to much into Java and .Net, so even if Rails is often a good fit, it's not even considered. So any additional ammunition to enter existing enterprises is welcome
