[Rails Rumble 2008](http://railsrumble.com/) takes place the weekend of October
18th and 19th.  We're happy to sponsor the Rails Rumble Championship Belt for
the second year in a row ([see last year's
belt](http://www.flickr.com/photos/zapnap/31794810/in/pool-railsrumble)).

We're also offering up our entire office for use that weekend by any Rails
Rumble teams in the Boston area who want a group space to collaborate and work
in.  For more information (including some pictures of our office) visit the
[Rails Rumble Workshare](http://blog.railsrumble.com/workshare) page, and if you
want to reserve space, [email me](mailto:cpytel@railsrumble.com).  In addition
to space to work, we'll be providing drinks and snacks throughout the
competition.

Quite a few other companies around the country are also offering up space, so
even if you're not in the Boston area, there might be something out there for
you.

Several thoughtbot team members will be competing in this year, and working from
the office.  So, it should be a great time.

When the winner's of last year's Rails Rumble were announced, the winner, [Tasty
Planner](http://tastyplanner.com) really caught our eye.  We immediately
contacted the designer, Kevin Burg, and asked him what he was up to and whether
he was interested in interviewing for the design position we had open.  Things
came together pretty quickly after that, Kevin is an excellent designer and we
knew he'd be a great fit for our team.  We'll be keeping our eye on the winners
of this year competition too.  Good luck to all.
