Hi I would like to put a “real-world” IronRuby chapter in my book that is created by people from the community. People that are interested in writing a short piece (2-5 pages in word) on how IronRuby made their live easier because of … Michael has a thing about ActiveDirectory Daniele also has a topic. I was thinking Ben??? if anybody else is interested just let me know and I’ll give you access to the repository in which we stick all our stuff around that. 2 pages would be an average blog post 🙂 Also I took over the [rubydoes.net](http://rubydoes.net) website. If somebody wants to blog there =\> email me 🙂 Cheers Ivan ---

Hi Robert, Sorry for waiting this long to reply to your email. Before it was pretty far in the future but now my deadline is approaching :). Anyway I’d be most interested to read and hear about your experiences surrounding your project. The work you’ve been doing definitely sounds pretty interesting from our past conversations. So I set a deadline for the community stuff in the last week of April because I will have to put it in the book and my publisher wants me to write it to keep the tone at a consistent level. I will give everybody credit and include a short description of who submitted what and who they are. I will also give credit at the beginning of your contribution and at the end so that it is really clear that I only copied what you gave me. Would that be doable for you by the end of April? * * * Met vriendelijke groeten - Best regards - Salutations Ivan Porto C.

I believe we’ve actually met once or twice when I was living in Wellington but can’t be sure, my memory is like swiss cheese. I’m discussing with the publisher on how we can make this work for them too and next week I’ll contact all of you off list to discuss this further. If there are other people listening that have done something cool please tell me about it. I firmly believe in the fact that enthusiasm and success stories are the best way to spreading something. 2009/2/19 Robert B.
