Get out the Vote for Raimonds’ Ruby Sessions

We here at the ‘Lab love Ruby, especially the Rails variety.

As such, we’re also big fans of Raimonds Simanovskis (@rsim) and his work building Ruby adapters for Oracle, which allows modern web apps built in Rails (think Twitter.com, 37Signals, etc.) to run on top of Oracle data structures.

Today, Raimonds blogged a plea for his Ruby OpenWorld sessions, which did not make the initial cut and are now in the Suggest a Session running over on Oracle Mix, which you may recall, we built and launched back in 2007 and is a JRuby on Rails app.

He needs lots more votes to get them accepted. So, if you love Rails and modern web apps and want to see more Rails and Ruby content at OpenWorld this year, head over and vote for his sessions:

I haven’t paid any attention to Suggest a Session this year, but it looks like they went back to the original way we ran it in 2008, vs. last year’s Vote a Session, which didn’t allow for submissions, only voting.

You must be a member of Mix to vote, and it looks like you must vote for three sessions to have your votes counts.

So, pick a third session that has fewer votes than Raimonds’ do.

Voting ends June 20, so head over there now and tell your Ruby friends.
