Just wanted to point out that the RailsConf keynotes are starting to appear on ScribeMedia. So far it’s just Dave Thomas and Martin Fowler but I suspect the others will follow along shortly. All the talks were great but regardless of your interest in Rails I recommend you listen to Martin, Paul Graham, and Nathaniel Talbott. I first saw this on Fowler’s blog.
Update: DHH’s keynote is now available.
