+# Gem'ing Rails
+
+Rails provides many integrations points. A lot of them seem like black
+magic. This talk aims to clear it up. It will demonstrate that most of
+what gems do is standard. However sometimes it will get fancy. This talk
+will cover some edge cases and complicated integrations as well.
+
+* Connect your gem using a Railtie
+* Bundle app/controllers/views/assets
+* Using `ActiveSupport.on_load` callbacks
+* Generating one off rails applications for testing your rails
+  independent gems
+* Edge cases in the `rails plugin` generator
+* Testing engines/gems
+* Gemming best practices
+* Integrating with other common gems (ex: Resque)
+
+## Notes
+
+This talk sums up my experience writing a ton of gems for business and
+open source users.
+
+Here's my list:
+
+* Cashier (Tag based caching for Rails)
+* HttpLog (Log incoming HTTP requests to MongoDB)
+* Harness (Metric Logging using ActiveSupport::Notifications)
+* Radium.io (Integration for our Radium.io platform)
+* A ton of various gems for internal and private use

+## Adam Hawkins
+
+My name is Adam Hawkins. I'm a rubyist, rails guy, and general
+open source nerd. I love to contribute to open source projects I use as
+well as write my own. I scratch my own itches through my open source
+work. When I'm not coding I travel and enjoy trance in very heavy doses.
