Internationalizing Rails - Jeremy Voorhis

I was sort of getting access to the internet for the first time of the conference during this talk, so I didn’t get much listening done.
- A pseudo-standard has been established for the Spanish Latin American locale: es-419 (whereas usually locales look like: en-US)
That’s all I got. He was actually very knowledgeable, and when he ended his talk 20 minutes early with an awkward “err, thank you,” it was quite funny.
Thank you for the kind words, and sorry about the curt ending :)
One thing I had learned is that while Keynote’s speakers view works wonders on the 15” Power Book (which I got to use for Canada on Rails), the 12” Power Book makes it impossible to read.
That being said, I really am awkward when faced by ~150 :) One speaker who I particularly enjoyed listening to – for the ease and confidence with which he delivered his talk, as well as the content – was Matt Biddulph who spoke about putting the BBC’s programme catalogue on Rails. I learned quite a bit by listening to speakers who are better than me, and I look forward to incorporating what I have learned from them in future talks.
Cheers!
