As I could not attend RubyConf2005, I am eager for slides, audio streams and video captures.
On RubyConf for Stragglers you can find mp3s/oggs for each presentation while Gluttonous has notes that should suffice until the presenters will update their slides (thanks for the effort!).
Of special note are David Heinemeier Hansson’s The State Of Rails (mp3/ogg/notes) and Yukihiro “Matz” Matsumoto’s keynote (mp3/ogg/notes).
David said that the Rails 1.0 release candidate is due the next days and spoke about the next steps after releasing 1.0. Apparently he wants to focus on the “platform”, meaning that the main development effort will go into building tools that support development and management of Rails applications. SwitchTower, the deployment manager is one example that is already available. Gauge will be a monitoring application for distributed/clustered Rails applications while Conductor will help people manage their domain models and manipulate the database like CocoaMySQL.
If somebody has other sources, please post them in the comments.
UPDATE:
Deirdre Saoire Moen has some notes on David’s Rails 1.0 session here.
You can get a RedHanded and the sildes are available here.
A RubyConf 2005 Wrapup Conversation (mp3) by Obie Fernandez and Matt Pelletier can be found here.
Further, there is Planet Ruby Conf.
UPDATE 2:
Nearly all slides are available at Zenspider
