I’ve been busy this year. Lots of conferences and local events. I only have a few more events to participate in this year, and my year is complete:
<p>First up is <a href="http://rubydcamp.org">Ruby DCamp</a>. It is going on from October 11-12 in Washington, DC. They’ve tried to set the bar high with a different format, so I’m going to see what it is all about. I also want to see what a “Distinguished Attendee” actually is. Should be fun…..</p>
<p>On October 16, I’ll be doing a a talk at <a href="http://ignitebaltimore.com/">Ignite Baltimore</a>. My topic is “Moving from Waterfall to Agile”. With this talk, I’m stepping a bit out of my normal blab topics, so this will be something new and definitely something fun.</p>
<p>In November, I’m headed to <a href="http://rubyconf.org">RubyConf</a>. I had no aspirations to speak, so I’m just there to observe and soak up the good Florida weather.</p>
<p>On November 18, I’ll be doing a a panel with Pat Maddox and Sandi Metz on my favoring topic, <a href="http://smartic.us/2008/8/15/tatft-i-feel-a-revolution-coming-on">testing</a>, at <a href="http://www.voicesthatmatter.com/ruby2008/">Voices That Matter: Professional Ruby Conference</a> aka ObieConf.</p>
<p>After this, I’m done until February. 2009 is shaping up to be just as busy as this year.</p>
