Mark, I’d encourage you to post this to the Chicago Area Ruby Group’s  
mailing list:

[http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/chicagogroup-members-list/](http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/chicagogroup-members-list/)

You would also be welcome to come to our next meeting and do some  
recruiting there. We could probably give you a little time to explain  
the position. The next meetup is next Monday at 6pm. See the Web site  
for more details:
