Hello,

Have I missed the news in the list, but it seems that the info  
was not widespread : there’s a new column in Linux Journal  
dedicated to the Ruby community news, have a look there :

Gemcutter’s Workshop  
[http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8921](http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8921)

The column is maintained by Pat Eyler.

Pretty cool, isn’t it ?

It looks like I’ve been scooped. I wasn’t going to announce  
anything until I knew it was up (I thought it was going up on  
3/21). Since the cat is out of the bag, here are some more  
details:

- we’re looking at a bi-weekly column

- each column will touch on news in/from the Ruby community  
and will look at a library, tool, or practice.

I’d love feedback (esp. at the LJ articles, the more reads and  
comments they get, the more interested they’ll be in this (and  
other) content. Given enough interest, we could get Ruby into  
their monthly print edition.

From my exchanges with the editors (though I think they’ve recently  
changed staff) they have been quite interested in Ruby content.

It would be great to see Pat’s columns in the paper version.
