      <title>Speaking at Rails Underground 2009</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s time to find my passport again&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robbyrussell/2241810168/" title="Waiting at Gatwick Airport by Robby Russell, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2312/2241810168_2af66d4a2e.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Waiting at Gatwick Airport" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve been invited to speak at &lt;a href="http://railsunderground.com/"&gt;Rails Underground&lt;/a&gt;, which is being held in London, UK from July 24-25th.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;My talk, which is tentatively titled, &lt;strong&gt;&amp;#8220;Launching Ruby on Rails projects, a checklist&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;, will expand on several ideas that came out a &lt;a href="http://www.robbyonrails.com/articles/2008/12/14/launching-ruby-on-rails-projects-a-checklist"&gt;previous article on the topic&lt;/a&gt;. Additionally, I plan to share some of the lessons that we&amp;#8217;ve learned at &lt;a href="http://planetargon.com"&gt;Planet Argon&lt;/a&gt; as we&amp;#8217;ve launched projects over last several years.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rails-underground.com" title="I'm speaking at Rails Underground!"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.rails-underground.com/images/speaker_badge.png" alt="I'm speaking at Rails Underground!"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re able to make it, I encourage you to &lt;a href="http://bw.eventwax.com/rails-underground-09/register"&gt;register for the event&lt;/a&gt; before it&amp;#8217;s too late. Take a quick peak at the &lt;a href="http://www.rails-underground.com/09-conference-speakers.html"&gt;list of speakers&lt;/a&gt;. I&amp;#8217;m grateful to the event organizers for the invite and look forward to seeing/meeting all of the attendees!&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Also, for those of you in the London area. If you&amp;#8217;re seeking a design and development team that specializes in Ruby on Rails and want to schedule a meeting with me while I&amp;#8217;m visiting, don&amp;#8217;t hesitate to &lt;a href="http://planetargon.com/get-in-touch"&gt;get in touch with us&lt;/a&gt;. I&amp;#8217;m planning on staying a few days extra around the conference dates to visit some of our existing clients and would be happy to meet you.&lt;/p&gt;
