# Planet Argon offers up Boxcar account for October Hackfest

To support the monthly [Rails Hackfest](http://www.workingwithrails.com/hackfest/ "Rails Hackfest"), Portland-based [Planet Argon](http://planetargon.com "Planet Argon") has offered a six-month [Boxcar](http://railsboxcar.com "Boxcar from Planet Argon") account to [1st place winner for October](http://www.workingwithrails.com/hackfest/16-monthly-october-2-7/prizes "Boxcar 1st Prize for October Hackfest").

> Boxcar is a pre-configured virtual server for hosting your business-level Rails applications and was designed to support the best-practices for Rails deployment.

The Rail Hackfest was designed to further the development of Ruby on Rails source code through good-natured competition. Contributions are rated and charted throughout the month, with the top contributors walking away with prizes.

For more information on Boxcar, see the [Boxcar site](http://railsboxcar.com "Rails Boxcar"). For more information on the Rails Hackfest, visit the [Working with Rails site](http://www.workingwithrails.com/hackfest/ "Working with Rails").
