So, RailsConf was awesome. Portland was great. But, you’re still wanting more? Hmmm, RailsConf Europe is right around the corner… But, how to get there?
We’d like to help. FiveRuns wants to send you and a guest to RailsConf Europe, September 2 -4, 2008 in Berlin! Entering the contest is easy.
Just download FiveRuns TuneUp, our new, free Rails application profiling tool and upload an application profile (a “Run”) to the FiveRuns TuneUp service between now and August 8, 2008. Current TuneUp users are free to upload Runs, too. We’ll conduct a random drawing out of all the Runs submitted, and if your name is chosen, you and a friend will be on your way to Berlin – airfare, hotel and RailsConf passes included!
So, download TuneUp now, and start Running your way to RailsConf Europe! Hope to see you in Berlin!
Official Rules. Contest open to existing or new users of FiveRuns TuneUp. Download FiveRuns TuneUp at tuneup.fiveruns.com and post a run between July 10 and August 8, 2008 at tuneup.fiveruns.com. On or about August 8, 2008, FiveRuns will conduct a random drawing from all of the users who submitted Runs. The winner will receive two coach class roundtrip tickets to RailsConf Europe 2008, accommodations in Berlin, Germany, and two full conference passes to RailsConf Europe 2008. Airfare accommodations will be roundtrip from the international airport closest to the winner’s home to Berlin, Germany. Flight must depart winner’s international airport on August 31, 2008 and depart Berlin, Germany on September 5, 2008.

Does submitting more runs help with the contest? or will you just take all the users who submitted one or more runs and pick a random winner from this selection?

We’ll draw from all of the runs submitted, so the more runs you post, the greater your chances to win. Good luck!

Do the result have to be made public to enter the contest? I’m not sure I want all of my actions, SQL, etc displayed to everyone. Is this safe?

Do we have to make the runs we upload publicly available in order to participate/enter the Railsconf contest?
Thank you.

Matt, Alex:
No, runs don’t have to be made public in order to be eligible. All private and public runs submitted during the contest timeframe will be put in the hat.
Of course, we encourage you to post your runs publicly and get the conversation started on ways to improve the performance of your apps.
Good Luck!
