My first day:

11:00 - 11:30 - Room 902 - Ruby Version Manager by Ake Koomsin

In this section, the speaker will talk about RVM to mangae version of ruby for pakage to install/uninstakk or use which version for each project. I think the speaker is great beacause he's not native but he can present in English and there are many foreign audiences who're interested in ruby too.

11:30 - 12:00 - Room 1003 - Introduction to GIT by Till

In this section, he talk about GIT which is versioning system to keep code in respository like SVN and manage code version. One downside of GIT is we have to use it with command line only(console).

Example Commands:

git add => to add a file into git server.
git commit -a => to update a file when we change something
git status => check status
git revert => reverse changes

12:30 - 13:00 - Room 905 - Why Eco Tourism sucks by Thomas Wahhoff

In short, he said eco tourism in some countries can't help the life of local people, and the quality and service are poor in rural areas especially foods. He said, in trips, he's very exhausted and can't conserve the nature.
I agree with him from what he said that a traveler want convenience, safe food, entertain, relax, and real experience. But there is no branding of eco tourism. So, it's suck.

14:30 - 15:00 - Room 1003 - How to bootstrap a company by Phil L

Because I'm not the person who want to create by own company (means that I've a little knowledge about it), so I can't understand some contents in this section. Basically, we have to create many interesting ideas first (10,000). Then, filter only good and practical ideas(20). Next, adjust or develop the remaining ideas(2). Finally, you will get the perfect idea(1).

p.s. It's not finish yet ^^, I will continue soon.
