Sorry - Fred I was trying to thank you for your comment and accidentally posted a comment that was meant for another -- hope I actually deleted the mistake!
Hey Fred, I only organized them during the summer of '08. But you should organize some coworking meetings. I'm sure you'd get some response. All the best! Truman
'Don't know if any local shops hiring interns offhand, but if you drop a copy of your resume and salary requirements to lalee -at- pobox (dot com) I'll keep it on file and see about any good matches as they come up.
Keep at it with trying out the various frameworks until you find one that you like. To get a good feel for a framework's capabilities, I usually write a simple CMS or Blog (something with Users, Posts, and Comments), along with Authentication and Access Control.
It's a simple enough exercise to finish within a week for most Frameworks; yet complex enough to "hit the walls" that you'd usually hit when writing a more complicated system. Good luck, and please do blog about your experiences to share the knowledge! Wayyy too many frameworks out there! :-)
Yup, Sinatra is a fascinating framework, but I'm really jazzed about Ramaze at the moment. Rendering partials in Ramaze actually works the way I expect it to -- especially across controllers! :-D
I'm working on a Drupal clone in Ramaze, and hope to upgrade rubyjedi.com into a ruby resource portal in the next few weeks.

xHunt seems to be becoming my procrastination joke. It really is the next project I'm working on. Right now I've got a CrossFit workout application to get out the door.
I recommend Erica Sadun's book "iPhone Cookbook", lots of good extended functionality in there that isn't in the regular apple documentation.
