Here's a rough story of the group in blog post form:

http://blog.reverberate.org/2008/07/17/416-random-people-with-ror-on-...

We got this in an email from Pradipta Archiputra (AKA Max Archie):

   I have a couple of Ruby on Rails position, wanted to know if you
are interested?

   Max Archie
   Technical Recruiter
   Prodigus Source
   Cell: 219-669-9216
   Phone: 312-235-2365
   M...@prodigussource.com

As the obnoxious developers we happen to be, we created a community
out of it.  It's totally ridiculous, but awesome.

I love the idea of some Indian recruter with the pseudonym "Max
Archie"  He probably wears a leather jacket and smokes Lucky Strikes,
too.

release..

I thought people might enjoy seeing the log of the chat between Harper
and I as it dawns on us how incredible this is :) Maybe other people
were out there having a similar experience at around the same time.

Hmmm - there must be a "300" ripoff in there surely... sadly my
photoshop skills don't match up to it... any takers?

God, that Image is so hilarious.

My favorite line from the thread was "I'm not even a programmer"
