Hi folks! I'm unable to attend RailsConf this year so I'm looking to present remotely to a few meetups around the community 😄

Abstract

Hi Joel,

Thanks for your submission! This looks super exciting. We haven't yet had a remote talk, but I know it's pretty standard for a lot of meetups. Let me discuss with my team, and get back to you!

Thanks for thinking of us! Also, if you don't mind my asking, how did you find out about Toronto Ruby?

@crespire you're welcome! I heard about the meetup through https://rubyconferences.org/meetups/ 😄
