Last night I took my life in my hands and presented Ruby to the local Perl Monger's chapter. It went very well: they were very receptive to the ideas behind Ruby, and we all had a great time. In case anyone else feels the need to spread the word, I put the presentation I used (in StarOffice format) at http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/ruby/downloads/presentation.html Feel free to customize it as you want.
