I admire the passion, but it seems ominous, and some might even say underhanded; obviously it's not simply 'free' work, but a 'free trial' and marketing. But work for 'free' also pulls the rug from under competitors - they will also have to offer free work, if they can.

There really are very few ruby/rails jobs/contracts going at the moment.

But ominous because in the bigger picture, perhaps the next step after working for free, will be that you have to pay to indulge your passion on real projects. Like many other hobbies I guess.

There are so many websites and apps, that can do just fine forever with a little bit of maintenance and nothing more. For people that fall into this category, it will be free forever

It seems more like they're replacing 5+ hours of business development activities with ~5 hours of coding.
