This was *supposed* to be a post about my successes in getting the Rallyhat web service up and running on Google App Engine, but that’s not quite done yet. Instead, I will inform our spanish-speaking CakePHP users (and the more adventurous types who enjoy travel) that the CakeFest site as been updated to announce pre-registration and other information about CakeFest #2, which will be held in Buenos Aries, Argentina at the beginning of December.
All your favourite people from the CakePHP world will be there, although I might not be able to make it despite Mariano’s very convincing IM conversations. The organizer (the previously-mentioned Mariano) is a great guy, good contributor to the project, and I still like him despite the fact that he is a Windows user in an ocean of Mac fanbois. Maybe things will work out that I can go, but if you can make the trip it will be one of the most interesting conferences this year.

I went to Buenos Aires last October and I can vouch for it as a really neat place to visit. I wish I had the time to go again this year!
@Chris: thanks for the nice words! We are certainly ruling for you to come down here and I’m sure things will turn out for that to be a reality.
Chris, I am from Buenos Aires. There’s a reason he’s a windows guy. It’s rare to see Macs over there. Only people on advertising have them. They are expensive and hard to find. Although I don’t know Mariano, don’t blame the guy
Try to make it over there, you won’t regret it!
If I decide to make the trip, do I have to be fluent in Spanish or do enough people know enough to point me in the right direction?
@Bobby
I’m pretty sure enough people speak English down there that you shouldn’t have a problem.
@Bobby
You won’t have much problem moving around. Lots of people in the city speak English, tourism has grown so much in recent years.
