outreach to non-Rails community #6

I'm positive that there are software apprenticeships outside the Rails community, but the dataset is incredibly anemic on that front. It's also true that the Rails community (at least for small companies) is biased towards Rails.

Still, who can we find inside the community to break into that space and either advertise to those folks, or at least unbury the ones who are already doing a program.

This is an incredibly non-actionable TODO :|

This is actionable, it is just one amorphous. A single email could yield dozens of opportunities. A dozen emails might yield nothing...

I can send out some feelers on this one. No promises, obviously, since it is amorphous, but the sooner started, the sooner we have something to show.

That's fair. If you know anyone connected to another community, I'd be appreciative if you did put feelers out. I'm giving a talk at the Nerdery this week, which is Java-heavy, so I'll add a note to my talk about it.
