We'd like to give a quick shoutout to some of our friends who are spreading the
word about our projects.
### Jester
[Mike Bailey](http://mike.bailey.net.au/) recently presented on
[Jester](https://github.com/thoughtbot/jester) in front of the Melbourne Ruby
User Group:
> I demonstrated using Jester, the awesome javascript library that gives you an
> active_resource-like client of Rails resources.

Pete Forde from [Unspace](https://unspace.ca/) is also spreading the Jester love.
He [presented on
Jester](https://ajaxexperience.techtarget.com/west/html/frameworks.html#PFordeJester)
for the AJAX experience
conference in San Francisco.
It [looks](https://www.flickr.com/photos/leftist/sets/72157601185891225) like it
was a blast, but don't gnash your teeth if you missed it... He'll be [doing it
again](http://ajaxexperience.techtarget.com/east/html/frameworks.html#PFordeJester)
at the AJAX experience in
Boston, this time with [Eric](https://thoughtbot.com/about/people#emill)
(Jester's dad) helping out. He'll be using that as an opportunity to announce
some new features for the upcoming 1.5 release.
And if I had any idea of [what this site is
saying](http://blog.tkmr.org/tatsuya/show/344-javascript-rest-jester-ver1-3-jsonp),
then I might mention it as well.
### Shoulda
Finally, I'd like to send a big ol' thank you partner to [James
Golick](http://jamesgolick.com/) of GiraffeSoft who presented on
[Shoulda](http://thoughtbot.com/projects/shoulda).
> Shoulda is the awesome set of test macros, and extensions to test/unit by the
> folks over at thoughtbot. A major time and keystroke saver for test-driven
> developers.

camera geeks.
