Rails To Italy was an interesting event, the first one organized by the italian rails community. It was great experience, expecially because it was my first time in a conference, as speaker, of course. I'm receiving a lot of mail about my speech a ton of guy are interested about the plugin I have presented.
Luca Guidi
My talk was about a plugin that I have realized as extension of Globalize.
i18n is an annoyng issue, because of you have to deal with a lot of problems regarding different people from different countries. Globalize try to make easier those problems, but not enough.
Click To Globalize try to make things more easy: you can translate your views in place!!.
You can find it into the 23 Labs repository: [Click To Globalize].
David Heinemeier Hansson
A Q&A videoconf session with the Rails creator.
Zed Shaw
This guy is the creator of Mongrel, he talked about the programmer ethic and about the communication of a team. Of course he has exalted Ruby as self-speaking language, it's ideal for DSLs and a better communication.

This talk was very interesting, it was about Rails scalability. It's the hot topic of the community. He gave a lot of tips and snippets to improve the prerformances of a Rails application.

Lead developer of Zooppa, a user-created advertising platform, born in 40 days. They haven't had analysis or UML diagrams, just few jpg mocks.
I think it's a great example of agile and pragmatic programming: no over-engineering stuff, just code it!!
