For the many of us who didn't go to Rails Day 2006...

What happened?

They seemed to have a hard time keeping the site up and operational before the contest.

This didn't matter as much, but the Subversion commit reporting site went down for a short period during the contest itself, though we could continue development as usual during that time.

After the contest was finished, judging took for-ev-er, long enough that in the comment threads on the Rails Day site, people were openly accusing the contest maintainers of not intending to judge the entries at all. The blog was virtually dead (hardly posted to), so there was little combat these accusations.

After judging, my team at least had to wait an exceptionally long time to receive our prizes. This turned out to be a problem with the sponsor, though RD administration probably should have been overseeing prize distribution, and they more than made up for it.

Are you going to participate by yourself?

Probably with Jeff. You want to do it, too?

Definitely yes. Even though, I have several books on ruby and rails. I've not really gotten a chance to become awesome like yourself. But I imagine I'd be useful.
