Aloha on Rails, the Hawaii Ruby on Rails Conference, now has an official YouTube channel! We are posting interviews and information about the conference and Hawaii.
First up to be interviewed is Kevin English, a local surfer and Ruby on Rails developer. Kevin talks about what makes Aloha on Rails special and why developers should attend conferences. Chill music and beautiful scenes of Waikiki round out this video.

Aloha on Rails Call for Proposals is now open! Call for Proposals ends on July 15th, 2009.
This conference is an amazing opportunity to bring together the Ruby on Rails community, with the larger Web Developer community, and share our knowledge and experience in beautiful Waikiki, Hawaii. As such, we are building an itinerary that isn’t simply a series of blog posts, but instead is full of wisdom, experience, lessons learned, war stories, discussions, and most importantly, debate.
We think the best presentations create solid debate and energize the attendees to discuss, research, and help them become better and more productive. If you can get a crowd thinking and talking, then we want you!
We are looking for presentations that start a debate and that spark further interest and research. Specific technologies or items of interest would include (but not limited to):
Talks will be 45 minutes in length. There will be a Lighting Talks session, however it will be organized at the conference. No need to submit a proposal for a Lightening Talk, simply attend and sign up.
Your presentation does NOT have to be about Rails but should be about Web Development, so please be creative and we look forward to hearing from you!
Please submit your talk proposal by July 15, 2009. You will be notified by August 1st, giving you plenty of time to arrange travel. If there are any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact seth@alohaonrails.com
It’s cheaper than you think to visit Hawaii.
We know many of you will be flying in for Aloha on Rails. It turns out that there’s never been a better time to travel to Hawaii, and we’re seeing some of the cheapest travel deals ever.
We always recommend watching Beat of Hawaii, a blog that tracks deals to the Hawaiian islands. However, I found two other lists of cheap flights that should help you out. Be sure to book these flights right away, often times there are limited seats available for these deals.
We always think that anything under $500 is a good deal, so some of these featured ticket prices (at ~$300!!) are a complete steal.
Aloha on Rails is very happy to announce the official website for the conference is up and operational. Look for the content, including speakers and schedule, to fill out over the next few months. In the meantime, subscribe to the Aloha on Rails Atom Feed to get the latest news and announcements.
Much thanks to Ocupop for their amazing work building our brand and identity, including this website template.
