Hello,

I have been associated with Ruby since 2005 and run the RubyLearning group of sites ( http://rubylearning.org/  |  http://rubylearning.com/ | http://rubylearning.com/blog/ ) and the PuneRuby User Group ( http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/puneruby/ ) .

I am writing a blog post titled "Indian Ruby on Rails Portfolio" which would go live on Tuesday 23rd Feb. 2010. This blog post would showcase Indian websites made with Ruby on Rails. A post on the RubyLearning blog is immediately picked up by RubyInside and RubyFlow readers and Rails news aggregators around the world and so the listed sites would get good mileage.

If you are the owner / developer of such a website(s), then I would appreciate if you would send me by email, as much information about the same. Namely, a - 

a. 150×91 thumbnail and the URL to the website.

We have some amazing, talented Rubyists who have been associated with RubyLearning these past 4 years. I plan to write a blog post titled "Showcasing RubyLearning's Awesome Rubyists" (you can suggest me a different title too). Who are these awesome Rubyists? YOU. Yes, if you are working / or are a hobbyist in Ruby or Sinatra or Rails then I would like to feature you on my RubyLearning blog at http://rubylearning.com/blog/ A post on the RubyLearning blog is immediately picked up by RubyInside and RubyFlow readers and Rails news aggregators around the world and so you can get maximum coverage!

If I receive inputs from at least 10 of you, I shall write this blog post. 

Please send me the following information at satish.talim@gmail.com -

a. Your full name
b. The country where you stay currently
c. Your email id
d. Educational qualifications
