It is also my ~1 year anniversary of programming in Ruby.  I heard
about  in the Dobbs article.

Speaking of classes, I am also arranging to teach a one time class at
the local Technology Center in Duluth, MN.  They have a weekly seminar
on different topics each week, i.e. PHP, Photoshop, with different
guest speakers.  The audience is both college students and local
professionals.  I think exposing college CS students would be very
good in helping the future of the language. I also think this might be
a good  way to go to get Ruby a foothold in this area. 

Does anyone else have feedback on how to introduce ruby to the masses
of Java and VB programmers out there?
