Hi John,
Thanks for expressing your interest for the topic.
For now, we have elections going on and presentations lined
for the next few months. However, depending on Rob (the
presenter)'s availability, we will try to reschedule the
event. If Rob can't make it, I also talked to Marcel
Molina, a Rails committer, who also said that he would be
willing to present on Rails (though he is not a Java
programmer, so he may not be able to do any compare-contrast
for us).
Since so many things are happening, if you don't hear
anything in a few months, please do send us another
reminder.
Thanks,
Peter

SUMMARY:
Ruby on Rails is the latest web framework that is
taking the development community by storm. It combines
the power and expressiveness of Ruby with a full
stack, MVC based framework aimed at making the typical
database-backed web application easy. It uses
convention over configuration (no XML!) and was
created to keep the developer happy instead of the
compiler or vendors.
In this presentation we'll take a whirlwind tour of
Ruby before doing a quick demo app in Rails. We'll
talk about why you should care about Rails, what its
_not_ good at right now, and what Java developers can
learn from Rails and start applying today.
