      <title>Meet us at RailsConf</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re coming to Portland for RailsConf or CabooseConf, be sure to introduce yourself (and we&amp;#8217;ll try to do the same). A few of us from &lt;a href="http://planetargon.com"&gt;Planet Argon&lt;/a&gt; will be attending the conference. I thought that I&amp;#8217;d make it easy to spot us by putting some faces to our names.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;In corner #1 we have &lt;strong&gt;Alex Malinovich&lt;/strong&gt; who is our Director of Deployment Services. If you have any questions about hosting options, deployment tips, and scaling your Ruby on Rails application.. be sure to tug on his shoulder. I also overheard that he&amp;#8217;ll be giving people discounts on our Boxcar products to those he meets in person.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robbyrussell/2419611753/" title="Alex by Robby Russell, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2236/2419611753_d829f271d1.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Alex" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alex Malinovich&lt;/strong&gt;, Director of Deployment Services&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;In corner #2, we have &lt;strong&gt;Andy Delcambre&lt;/strong&gt; who is on our development team. You might remember Andy from his series of &lt;a href="http://andy.delcambre.com/tags/git"&gt;blog posts/tutorials on using Git&lt;/a&gt; and getting &lt;a href="http://andy.delcambre.com/2007/8/17/authenticated-rss-proxy"&gt;Basecamp &lt;span class="caps"&gt;RSS&lt;/span&gt; feeds working in Google Reader&lt;/a&gt; via a Mongrel-based proxy (our team is still using this approach using this after ten months!).&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robbyrussell/2432834995/" title="Andy by Robby Russell, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2096/2432834995_eb937af274.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Andy" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Andy Delcambre&lt;/strong&gt;, Software Developer&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;In corner #3, we have &lt;strong&gt;Gary Blessington&lt;/strong&gt; who has been leading our design and development team. If you&amp;#8217;re looking for a job working with Ruby on Rails, be sure to introduce yourself to Gary as he&amp;#8217;s hoping to meet up with several applicants who will be in Portland this week.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robbyrussell/1430587811/" title="IMG_9286 copy.jpg by Robby Russell, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1167/1430587811_36d525cbf8.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="IMG_9286 copy.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gary Blessington&lt;/strong&gt;, Director of Design and Development&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;In corner #4&amp;#8230; is me. I&amp;#8217;m not doing any talks this year so I plan to do wander around stress-free as I&amp;#8217;m not finishing my slides at the last minute or preparing for panel talks. I&amp;#8217;m happy to field questions and exchange stories with you. :-)&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robbyrussell/518770652/" title="me... by Robby Russell, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/250/518770652_61c87e940f.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="me..." /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Robby Russell&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://jobs.rubynow.com/jobs/show/2238"&gt;We are hiring&lt;/a&gt;... so feel free to introduce yourself to any of the faces above.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;...and most importantly, I hope you have a great time in Portland!&lt;/p&gt;
