A few days ago, we (Koen and I) got this nice mail in our inbox:

  Notification of acceptance : Ruby and Rails devroom FOSDEM 2008
	
  Dear submitters,

  We are happy to notify you of the acceptance of your talk proposal
  "Using Rails for agile development of a job site" for the first
  Ruby and Rails devroom at FOSDEM 2008.
  ...

That is: 23 + 24 February 2008, Brussels (at ULB). Below is the abstract we conceived. Now better continue coding, so we actually have something to talk about ...

"Using Rails for agile development of a job site"

The presentation will be presented by:

* Peter Vandenabeele, founder of the job site
* Koen Van der Auwera, lead developer (10to1.be)

Peter will discuss (from a management viewpoint):
* why did I choose Rails for this project
* what where the perceived risks
(maturity, scalability, security)
* initial choices made
(development methodology, short cycles,
integrating early user interactions and feedback)
* the results
* experiences in the development trajectory
* advise for other projects considering Rails

Koen will discuss (from a technical viewpoint):
* technical architecture of the system
* the development model
* technical challenges and resolutions
* scalability
* security
