So DevCamp is tomorrow; I haven't got my talk(s?) anywhere close to ready, so today is going to be a hard grind. Perhaps, I'll just do the Ruby talk and skip the js one?
Anyways, if you live in Bangalore or happen be in town on Saturday, 11th April, do consider dropping in (directions to ThoughtWorks office can be found on the wiki, map and all); there are 18 sessions up on the wiki and a bunch of interesting people participating, so it should be an entertaining gig.
Oh, and do remember to tell any of your friends who might be interested.

Announcing DevCamp Bangalore 2
We're happy to announce the second edition of DevCamp Bangalore, DevCamp Bangalore 2; it's happening on Saturday, 11th April 2009.
DevCamp is an un-conference by the hackers, for the hackers and of the hackers.
It's a species of BarCamp where anything a lover of computers and technology would consider important or entertaining goes.
The first DevCamp happened a little over a year ago and was a lot of fun; we're hoping hoping to keep that trend going with DCB2.
If you're planning to do a session at DCB2, do keep in mind the fact that everyone at DevCamp is a hacker, a pro. Please assume a high level of exposure and knowledge on the part of your audience and tailor your sessions to suit. Avoid 'Hello World' and how-to sessions which can be trivially found on the net. First hand war stories, in-depth analyses of topics and live demos are best.
DevCamp: Acknowledgements and thanks
First, thanks to all the participants for being so involved. I hope all of you felt you participated in at least one good session or discussion and generally felt that your Saturday was well spent.
A very big thank you to all the volunteers who worked hard behind the scenes to make DevCamp happen.
A special thank-you to Kesava Reddy whose idea this was, and who has spent a fair amount of time on DevCamp over the last couple of months.
Some of the takeaways:

Some of the takeaways:
- Time slots should be larger than the current 30 mins. I heard a lot of people suggest 1 hour slots, so that's what it'll be next time.
- There was a general feeling that there wasn't enough core technology discussed. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
- People liked the layout of the venue and think it works well fo un-conferences.
