Last night over a few^W^Wseveral^Wmany drinks, a group of us got to talking 
about the state of Ruby in Australia.  

Some of the points raised were:

   - there are a lot of companies looking for Rubyists
   - most of those companies are looking for mid - senior developers
   - it is very hard to break into the market, but once you're established, 
   work is much easier to find
   - very few companies have coherent strategies for hiring, developing and 
   retaining juniors and grads
   - the difficulty companies experience in hiring mid - senior Rubyists 
   may put them off Ruby as a technology

My (vague, beer-attenuated) recollection is that some folks are already 
working on this problem, and I'd love to help out.
