Compass core team member and Sass contributor Scott Davis will be Frederick Riding Rails' first presenter! He's going to give us early access to his speech at Ruby Nation about using Compass and Sass. From RubyNation:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you not fully understand scss or sass? Do you hate making stylesheets as a developer. Do you not understand sprites? Using compass standalone or with the rails asset pipeline can increase your productivity and make CSS enjoyable! Because spending 30% of your development time on styles should never happen, it is Scott's mission to make that a thing of the past.

Scott is a UX engineer for the Space Telescope Science Institute, which runs the science programs for the Hubble Space Telescope and the upcoming Webb Space Telescope. Most of his work centers on HubbleSite.org, public website for the Hubble Telescope.

Scott has spent the past eight years developing web applications, most recently the HubbleSite's redesign. His focus is the creation of elegant, well-engineered, robust code that is as simple to read as it is to use.

Scott lives on a 200-acre farm in Maryland, where he enjoys excessive amounts of farming and the fact that his nearest neighbor is a cow.

Also, major thanks to David Bock for lending us a projector for this presentation!
