Exceptional - Silver Sponsors
Thanks to the the people at Contrast who are our new Silver Sponsors on behalf of their new product Exceptional. Heres what they have to say about it:
Exceptional helps you find out about and fix problems in your Ruby apps.
When new exceptions occur, you’ll be notified by e-mail, SMS or Campfire. Similar exceptions are grouped together and sorted to help you prioritise your bug-fixing. You can view backtrace and occurrence information, make notes for your team, and send exceptions to third-party ticketing services.
“Exceptional is one of the most reliable web services I’ve used. It’s incredibly easy to install and keeps me in control of unexpected behavior in my applications.” — Geoffrey Grosenbach, PeepCode

Charity Tutorial Confirmed
We are happy to confirm that we have secured a venue for this year’s charity tutorial: Pollock Halls, our previous conference venue.
As usual, the tutorial will be the day before the conference – Thursday 25 March. This year there will be two parallel sessions: details to follow.
We will be asking for a donation to CHAS, the children’s hospice. Over the past two year’s we have raised roughly £10,000 for CHAS.

Now Hosted on BrightBox(es)
Last week, on a train with flaky wifi, Alan posted the session list for the conference and forgot to add any caching. Our little rails app became a greasy hole in the ground and the server was so crushed, he couldn’t even ssh back on to fix it.
Alan’s been soundly beaten and the caching problem was fixed…however…
During the panic, Brightbox offered to host the site for us on a much more solid rig, which may actually have survived the cacheless frenzy, but we’ll never know.
We figured it would be silly to turn down the generous offer of a couple of load-balanced 1Gig servers in case Alan decided to pull the same stunt next year.
A big thanks to Brightbox !
