Yeah, I'd question your assumptions, Warren.
We don't really have a problem putting together speakers. But,
sometimes, it can be a little last-minute since we're all so busy
working on projects.
I don't see us changing the focus of the group, either -- this is a
great time to be learning and using Ruby -- but talks on other
languages are always welcome.
Tom Werner, for instance, is doing some really interesting stuff with
Erlang.

We've got a meeting on Thursday. Anyone want to present?
If we frequently have problems coming up with things to present about,
what if we changed the focus of the group into all marginal languages
in general? Say, in addition to Ruby: Erlang, OCaml, Scala, Smalltalk,
F#, and possibly other languages that make you unemployable at blub
companies, the focus being on things of interest to basically anyone
who loves great programming languages and systems (e.g.,
message-passing concurrency in Erlang and/or Scala). This assumes that
coming up with enough presenters is indeed a legitimate problem. It
also assumes that Ruby is in the set of marginal languages, which
might not really be true in 12-24 months.
