There was an announcement posted by Shugo M. on the Japanese lists  
yesterday (see [ruby-dev:31330]). It sounds like it is closer to a  
Ruby Central for Japan than a Ruby version of the Python Software  
Foundation, so perhaps this news won’t have much of an impact outside  
of Japan.

Looks like they formed a group to get Ruby taken more seriously in  
Japan as well as to potentially get Japanese government support for  
improving and spreading Ruby.  
The impact would be real, inside and outside of Japan.

They could start with Toyota, who unfortunately (for me and for them)  
are using Python…
