After that, we began to see Linux Journal doing a >cover + special edition on Python, magazine articles and interviews >popping up everywhere, etc. Perhaps we can do the same for Ruby... I think at this point the magazine articles are ours for the writing. What I mean is if you can write a good article on a subject that somehow involves Ruby you can probably get it published somewhere (Dr. Dobb's, O'Reilly websites, IBM DeveloperWorks, Linux Journal, Software Developer). At this point there have probably been enough "Intro to Ruby" type articles, what we need are articles showing ways in which you've applied Ruby to solve some problem. The magazines aren't going to come to you begging you to write an article, you need to approach them. For example, I think that Rubyx is good for at least two articles in Linux [Journal|Magazine] (Hint, Hint!): 1) Rubyx: a new source-based Linux distro (I'm sure you can think of a better title, but you get the idea) 2) A new init system based on Ruby I think that perhaps a "What's new in Ruby 1.8.x" could also get published especially if it focuses on things like syck/YAML (and how Ruby is the first Language to support YAML 'out of the box'). Come to think of it, perhaps an article on YAML would be in order - one that uses Ruby for it's examples. I don't think I've seen any YAML articles anywhere. Anybody embedded Ruby into a C or C++ program? I think an article on embedding Ruby would also be good. I'm sure there are lots of other Ruby-related articles out there waiting to be written. The more you get Ruby out there into the computing press, the more exposure it will get. I suspect that a lot of people here on the list are here because they read an article about Ruby somewhere - that's how I made it here to Ruby-land (Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt's article on Ruby in the Jan 2001 issue of Dr. Dobb's got me hooked). All you've got to do is give people a good reason to download and install Ruby on their system even if (or maybe especially if) it's just for fun. Phil
