Hi Scott, Glad to hear that speaking up helped you. It definitely seems like we need to get some way for Ruby developers and contract shops looking for work in direct touch with people looking to hire them up on SDRuby.
To piggy back on you're thread Notch8 (my company) is also looking to bring on another client. Right now I have about 20 hours a week of availability, but we can easily scale that up as needed.
