And the Winner Is… Tammer Saleh

A few weeks ago we asked a group of customers to participate in a survey to help us better understand the reasons why some customers sign up for RPM but either never deploy the RPM agent or wait sometimes months to do so. To encourage participation, we promised to do a couple of things. First every completed survey would result in a donation to help with Haiti Relief. Second, one lucky entrant’s name would be drawn from the list at random and be awarded an Apple iPad®. The winner of the drawing was Tammer Saleh.
Tammer is a pretty amazing guy. He wrote Shoulda, the testing framework, and co-authored Hoptoad, when he was with ThoughtBot. He also wrote, with Chad Pytel, the book Rails AntiPatterns: Best Practice Ruby on Rails Refactoring.
Today, Tammer lives and works in San Francisco, running his own application development firm. You can reach him at http://tammersaleh.com/ or on twitter @tsaleh. Congratulations, Tammer. Nice pose!
Reflections on another great RailsConf

This year marks the third RailsConf for New Relic and we had an amazing time! Two years ago in Portland we released RPM. Last year in Vegas we paired customers up with RPM engineers to help them analyze their performance. This year we got to hear countless stories from amazing customers where RPM helped them out of a bind. We also got a lot of great ideas from folks that could help make RPM even more awesome.

Do you want to promote your company? Your open source project? Yourself? If you would like a forum for promoting your Rails-based company or project, stop by our booth at RailsConf in Baltimore June 7-10.
We will shoot a short video of you giving your best pitch. We will pick some each day of the show for posting on RailsLab and on our Facebook page.
Be prepared to answer these three questions:
1. Who are you?
2. What is the name and URL of your company or project?
3. Why is this important to Rails developers and operations teams?
Using your sense of humor will also help your video get selected.
Even if you don’t want to be a star, stop by and say hello to the New Relic team.
