Just another idea I guess.

I admire your work, and to read that you will be focusing much more on your own stuff, pleases me.

Personally, I think training sessions is a great idea. It’s a good way to listen, learn and discuss things with each other, while having fun along the way. Some interesting topics would be: Testing and Refactoring.

I wish you best of luck and maybe we will pair together in the near future!

I am a Java developer by day, and groovy developer by night, but I do enjoy your books. Looking forward to Confident Ruby and your screencasts.

As others have said, your writing / speaking is really excellent and your knowledge is well respected. I would guess the route you’ve chosen will be successful and rewarding.
