MyConfPlan sale - less than 12 hours to go

Posted by Dr Nic on August 29, 2007

The auction for MyConfPlan has less than 12 hours to go. Currently the auction is now at $500 USD ($600 Australian dollars) and I’m sure it will go higher by the end.

Remember, you get:

  • The domain, myconfplan.com
  • The Ruby on Rails source code
  • The Wordpress blog and theme
  • Glory
  • Opportunity to clean up the code and open source it, so you can collect new ideas and extensions from other Rails developers who want to add cool features

Question: What cool features should be added to MyConfPlan by the winner?

The winner will send all funds directly to the charity and instantly get a warm glowie feeling in their stomach. Send me an email of the receipt of payment, and then I’ll send you over a copy of the code, and away you go. Just like shopping at the supermarket, except its an auction and you have to win first. No points for second place!

Buy one of the coolest websites for sale, at the moment, on ebay.

    Nnnooooo!!! I’ve really got to make reading this blog a daily habit, what a steal!!! Congrats on the sale, apologies I didn’t read this sooner and thus secured you a higher price :(

    (Keeping it in Aussie hands would have been good too ;)

    @glenn, yeah it could have been an Aussie Hackathon project :)

    As it turns out, the winner plans to open source it, so we can still have fun with it.

    That’s great about open sourcing it. I was the third place bidder and had the exact same plan.

    Anybody know what happened to this? I was really looking forward to using it this year to see what other people (such as Dr. Nic) were going to, to help me plan my schedule. O’Reilly’s copycat scheduler isn’t nearly as useful as myconfplan was.

    I’m assuming now that nothing will happen with the site, which is unfortunate. Doubly unfortunate is that I’ll not be at RailsConf this year as the date clashes with the birth of child #2. I was told I can’t go to RailsConf because of this. Patooey. :(
