I am pleased to pre-announce the launch of a new, professional
periodical focused exclusively on Ruby.
The journal, tentatively titled "Red," will be published monthly and
will be distributed internationally as a stylish, high-quality, 60-
page PDF. Each month, Red will focus on boosting the skills and
productivity of all Ruby programmers -- from novices to gurus --
providing pragmatic, practical, insightful, hands-on, and diverse
advice and expertise.
Contributors will be paid for material accepted and published in the
journal. Like other journals, all material will be vetted by peers
and experts prior to publication.
Feature-length stories (4,000 words) earn $500.00.
Column-length stories (2,500 words) earn $350.
In addition to three features each month, Red will also include five-
six regular monthly columns that appear in every issue, news, updates
on software releases, community happenings, user group meetings, op-
ed, and reviews and examples of Ruby packages.
Red will also include a "Marketplace" section where ISPs, developers,
designers, and organizations can advertise jobs, services, skills,
conferences, books, training, and products.
The advertising rate is $2,000 per page. Half-page, quarter-page,
third-page and one-eighth-page ads are available at a pro-rated fee.
Classified ads of 100 words or less are $50.00.
Annual subscriptions to Red will be $60.

site, and design of the journal take shape.
I look forward to your questions, ideas, readership, and
participation in furthering the gem called Ruby.
