B'more on Rails organized a number of events for RailsConf 2010, which was held in Baltimore June 7-10 2010.

Stay with a Local

As part of a larger effort to welcome the Rails community to Baltimore for RailsConf 2010, B'more on Rails has organized a room-share for RailsConf attendees. We have 12 private rooms available to attendees for the duration of the conference. We see it as an opportunity to welcome you to our city and for us to create a few new friendships.

BohConf

BohConf is the official RailsConf 2010 unconf . At BohConf, we're going to get our hands dirty writing code and sharing ideas in an open and free-form environment. This hacking-centric event will include community code drives featuring well known OSS authors, a code retreat, a programming competition, and barcamp-style discussions. It is free and will run alongside RailsConf in the convention center. Everyone is welcome at BohConf! Follow @bohconf. BohConf is organized by SmartLogic, a Baltimore Ruby on Rails consultancy. Register for BohConf.

Ignite RailsConf

Ignite events are lightning talks, where 16 speakers each get 5 minutes to talk about a subject they are passionate about, but with a twist: the speaker's slides are automatically advanced every 15 seconds. Several B'More on Rails members are presenting! Follow @igniterailsconf!

Welcome to B'more Pub Night

Start off your RailsConf/BohConf right by having a beer and hanging out with the B'more on Rails crew! RSVP on meetup.com is encouraged, but not required. We're looking forward to having a beer with you!

Monday June 7, 6pm - ?
Pratt Street Ale House (map)

B'more on Ales

B'more on Rails approved watering holes, from locals who know better than to drink somewhere lame. Follow @bmoreonales.

Yankees at Orioles

We're organizing a group to go to the baseball game on Wednesday night. Thanks to Goldstar, we've got a block for 100 tickets. Also we'd like to thank our sponsor SB Nation, who will be providing each attendee with a free $7 gift certificate good towards the purchase of food or drink. Sign up now while tickets last!

Ride with a Local: taxi service from BWI - A cab ride from BWI airport to downtown Baltimore can cost more than $20. B'more on Rails members will be standing by in the afternoon Sunday June 6 and Monday June 7 to provide personalized rides from BWI to your hotel. See the mobile-enabled map application to find out where the taxis are right now!

Taxi service available Sunday and Monday 12p - 6p

Baltimore Ambassadors

When you see one of us in a B'More on Rails t-shirt, say hi! Ask us about Baltimore! Whether you need a recommendation for a place to grab a quick beer, or you need to know the best way to get to the other side of town, we're here to help! Look for the insert in your program, and look for us near the exits after the late afternoon sessions!

Some Other Excellent Things We've Noticed

Mike Subelsky's Baltimore Things To See and Do, a short list of things to do while you're in town.

James Duncan Davidson and Mike Clark's Inner Harbor Photo Walk, a golden hour photo walk on Wednesday evening.

Recommended Running Routes

A breezy run on the water is a great way to start your morning in Baltimore! Below is a sample running route starting from the Inner Harbor, which is just a few blocks east of the Convention Center. It goes up onto Federal Hill, then back around through Harbor East, Fells Point, and Canton, before returning to the Inner Harbor. Much of the course is along the water and is flat and very scenic!
