Two words for :-) thought on this topic:

    (1) Slashdot
    (2) ActiveState

WRT (1), what ever happened to that forthcoming book review?

WRT (2), any Ruby guru making plans to move to Vancouver?

# Open source innovators join ActiveState
# ActiveState assembles dream team of tech advisors
# VANCOUVER, BC, 2001/03/27
#
# ActiveState, the leader in open source programming tools, announces
# the appointment of many of the top minds in open source to its
# Technical Advisory Board. Joining the team is: Larry Wall, Brendan
# Eich, Guido van Rossum, Rasmus Lerdorf, and Jon Udell.
#
# "I enjoy working with ActiveState on Perl development. They really
# believe in the Perl philosophy 'there's more than one way to do it.'
# They're in the business of enabling everyone to get the job done,"
# said Larry Wall, creator of Perl.
#
# """Python has benefited from ActiveState's contributions to the
# community such as ActivePython and Komodo, and their participation
# in the Python Software Foundation. I look forward to working with
# them,""" said Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python.
#
# "ActiveState has the vision and understanding of the Mozilla
# project.  It's great to see an organization with a language/tools
# focus developing with the Mozilla framework," stated Brendan Eich,
# creator of JavaScript and Architect for Mozilla.
#
# "ActiveState's efforts with Perl and Python make them well-suited to
# provide similar products and services for PHP. I'm pleased to assist
# them in their future development," commented Rasmus Lerdorf, creator
# of PHP.
#
# "I've been using and writing about scripting languages for years and
# am thrilled to see a critical mass of language inventors at
# ActiveState. The knowledge transfer and synergies that will develop
# will be a great benefit to the community. I'm excited to be a part
# of this," stated Jon Udell, former executive editor Byte.
#
# "ActiveState has demonstrated insightfulness and leadership by
# integrating and enhancing many open source technologies to create
# new products and new programming environments, such as Komodo.
# ActiveState's ability to recruit these thought leaders to its
# advisory board clearly establishes the company as one of the most
# important players in high level programming languages," noted
# Michael Tiemann, CTO of Red Hat.
#
# "These language innovators have changed the face of technology with
# tens of millions of people using their software. They will have a
# profound collective influence on our emerging technologies and on
# our goal of making open source languages more accessible to both
# casual programmers and the business community," said Dick Hardt,
# Founder & CEO of ActiveState.
