RubyConf 2007 Slide Roundup

Haven't been able to find a definitive source for the slides from RubyConf and, judging from my referrer logs, many others are also looking. Here's my attempt to gather a reference to them in one place; I've just copied the schedule from the RubyConf site and am adding links as I find them. I'll update this as I find more (and please tell me if you know where to find them =)

UBER-UPDATE: Ryan Davis (aka zenspider) keeps an annual repository of the RubyConf presentations. He hasn't posted 2007 yet, but here's links to 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, and 2002. Very nice.

My slides are linked from this post, which also contains a whole boatload of links to the stuff I talked about:

Thanks for doing this. Ryan Davis usually consolidates everything on his server (http://www.zenspider.com/Languages/Ruby/index.html). It's become somewhat of a tradition if not an official resting place. I think he's going to do the same this year. This'll help :)

[Jim Meyer]

Didn't realize that (but excited to discover five previous years worth of material =). Happy to help; I'll keep updating as I get more links and Ryan's link to the main post.

[Francis Hwang]

Here's my blog post, with slides. They're probably pretty inscrutable without the audio, though:
