The first web developer conference will be held in April

    Industry experts will be able to gather for the first large-scale conference of web developers in Russia, which we have already written about , in mid-April 2007. The event will be called “Russian Internet Technologies 2007” (RIT 2007), and not WWW2006 Russia, as intended.

    The organizers of RIT 2007 plan to accept about 500 people, and currently more than 400 applications for participation have been submitted. A room is selected - a specially equipped center in Moscow. It is known that the list of sections in the published programwill not change significantly, but, as the initiator of the conference Oleg Bunin explained, small adjustments are outlined. One of them is the removal of the CMS topic from the section "High-load systems"; The topic is too extensive and deserves special attention. In addition, the current version of the program, unlike the previous one, provides a greater emphasis on the field of management - management activities in the development of Internet projects.

    Note that in the previous stages of the preparation of the conference, the date indicated the end of October 2006. There is an explanation for the timing change: the web developers themselves, who have no experience in organizing events, are promoting the idea of ​​RIT. “We simply underestimated the technical difficulties associated with the halls, auditoriums, food, design, publications, print works,” Oleg Bunin told Khabrahabr. “After all, at first it was all a romantic idea for a group of developers.” According to him, professional organizers of conferences are currently working on RIT.

    There has also been an increase in participation fees, which now stands at $ 100 for two full days (the previous price was 1000 rubles). The organizing team reports that they will try to keep it within this amount, explaining that the price increase was caused by the desire to hold a conference at a good technical and organizational level.

    Citing the initiators of RIT 2007, we recall that the motivation for holding an industry conference is the need for webmasters in their community to “talk, argue, read reports, conduct master classes in areas such as search, mail, creating large Internet sites, WAP technologies , databases, video technology, Ajax, etc. ". Everything - from the point of view of the developer and for the developer.
