Hi all,

Ruby on Rails is a great project and a growing niche. As it becomes  
even more popular, there will be increasing demand for experts in the  
field.

I am compiling a contact list of RoR experts who may be interested in  
opportunities under the right circumstances. I am not a recruiter -  
I’m a regular developer who sometimes gets asked for referrals when  
I’m not personally available.

If you’d like to be on my shortlist of go-to experts, please contact  
me off-list at: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid

Please be prepared to show your expertise by any of the following:

- Committer status or patches accepted
- Commit access to another open source project which uses Rails
- Bugs reported which were either resolved or are still open (real  
bugs)
- Links to sites you have developed which are built on Rails
- Articles / blog entries written about Rails concepts or development
- Speaking engagements or user groups at which you’ve presented
- Significant contributions to documentation
- Other? (I’m sure I didn’t think of everything)

I’ll be happy to answer any questions, and I look forward to hearing  
from you!
