Satish,

Thanks for keeping up updated! Shashank’s interview was a pleasure to read. I also owe a debt of gratitude to Shashank: though I had played with Ruby and QT during college, my first serious escapades with Ruby happened courtesy of the one-click installer.

We now have published a few interviews of people from:

India: Shashank Date.

Switzerland: Jens-Christian Fischer.

In the days to come, I will publish interviews of people from other countries too.

Yes, there are a few Ruby ‘rockstars’ from India, but their interviews would come in a bit later…

Satish Talim, founder of Indian Ruby developers’ community Pune Ruby, has interviewed several Ruby developers via email and posted the responses to the group’s blog at http://www.puneruby.com/. Interviews that I found especially interesting featured Bruce Tate, Chang Sau Sheong, Phil Thompson and Topher Cyll. My interview was just posted today as well.

Two curious facts about the interview series:

Only two of the nine interviewees was from a country other than the United States. One was from Singapore. None were from India; surely PuneRuby has a few Ruby rockstars of its own.
Over half of the interviewees are from Portland, Oregon. The other four are friends and acquaintances of mine through our own Portland Ruby Brigade.
