Hmm - interesting.

I would say that the reason companies are looking elsewhere is a  
*shortage* of Ruby developers (which is why the ones I do know about  
are always busy).  You know the "scene" much better than I but I've  
never had the impression that there are hundreds around the north.

Which is why I would think evangelising and training would be our  
priorities.
