Trying to finish my book and running PLANET ARGON consumes quite a bit of my time… so when the RailsConf people announced that they were accepting proposals for talks, I opted to pass so that it wouldn’t distract from my sprint to finish my book. :-)
This decision was even easier for me when Nathaniel Talbot invited me to be part of his proposal for a panel of people that are running companies that specialize with Ruby on Rails. I liked the idea and the other people that were invited were all people that I greatly admired and respected… so I said yes. After all, so much of my time and energy goes into this stuff and there isn’t any doubt that I spend way more time on the business side of Rails… than in code these days.
I just got an email from Nathaniel to let me know that his proposal was accepted.
So, if you’ll be at RailsConf 2007 (US), come see me on The Business of Rails panel session.
The following people are planned to be on the panel.
Moderator: Nathaniel Talbott, Terralien Inc.
Panelists include:
- Justin Gehtland, Relevance, LLC
- Geoffrey Grosenbach, Topfunky Corporation
- Andre Lewis, earthcode.com
- Joe O’Brien, EdgeCase, LLC
- Robby Russell, Planet Argon, LLC
I hope that you all send Nathaniel some great (and tough) questions… ;-)
