Off topic: Kickstarter project
by Jonathan Hale 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

I realize this is a bit off topic, but hope it's forgivable as I'd say the crowd funding sites like Kickstarter display a spirit akin to that of the Free and Open Source Software community (i.e. people from all over the Internet pitching in to help bring a project to fruition rather than just big money banks and corporations getting to decide what gets made..) My brother, Sam, just launched a kickstarter project here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/538185773/monster-of-the-sky-a-mythic-t… If you're not familiar with kickstarter, it's a crowd funding site. According to wikipedia: Crowd funding describes the collective effort of individuals who network and pool their money, usually via the Internet, to support efforts initiated by other people or organizations. Crowd funding is used in support of a wide variety of activities, including disaster relief, citizen journalism, support of artists by fans, political campaigns, startup company funding, movie or free software development, inventions development and scientific research. Basically, once it goes live, they have 30-40 days to meet their goal of $25k for the film or they don't get any of the pledged donations. Contributors' accounts don't get charged unless the team meets its goal, so there really is little risk to donors, and they can get some pretty cool swag as rewards if the project actually goes through. Plus, if you like the idea behind the project, it's a really cool chance to be part of something larger than one's self. Please check it out, consider donating, and spread the word to anyone else you think might be interested. Thanks, Jonathan

In case anyone is interested....

Hello all, In case anyone is interested, I was just sent these within my subscription to SourceForge Newsletter: - - - - -<snip>- - - - - SourceForge Is Hiring As you may remember, Dice recently acquired SourceForge. This month we're using the Dice website to look for a new member of our team here at SourceForge. We're looking for a Systems Programmer/Analyst to work on the Slashdot, SourceForge, and Freecode sites. Read all the details. (http://seeker.dice.com/jobsearch/servlet/JobSearch?op=302&dockey=xml/9/6/96…) - - - - - <snip>- - - - Help Wanted The response to our "Help Wanted" newsletter sections and blog posts (http://sourceforge.net/blog/category/help-wanted/) has been overwhelming, with every one receiving responses from interested developers, as well as further email from other projects wanting to be added to the list. We're going to keep doing these things, but we recognize that the approach doesn't scale to quite the level we need it to. So, we've launched a Help Wanted forum (http://sourceforge.net/p/forge/helpwanted/) where projects can look for developers, and developers can look for projects. You can still email us directly, if you prefer, but posting directly to that forum will let you engage with the conversation, and receive notifications when someone has responded. - - - - - <snip>- - - - - Freedom means you are free to be responsible ~ Russell Means 'Free to be Responsible' Speech: http://www.russellmeansfreedom.com/2009/free-to-be-responsible-a-russell-me…

Who is a good lawyer for small collections?
by David Nicol 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

I did a piece of work for someone who posted their requirement on this list in August, and they haven't honored my invoice. The client is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Jackson County. I suppose I could file and win a small claim, but I wouldn't know how to enforce the judgement. Please respond off-list. David Nicol

[JOB] Positions available at Adknowledge
by Jeffrey Watts 05 Sep '12

05 Sep '12

Hello, my team is looking for another Senior Linux Administrator to join our team in Kansas City (Plaza area). Our company is an almost all-Linux shop (mixture of SLES and RHEL) working in the realm of online advertising. It's a fast paced, high tech, and high competency environment and we're looking for another admin to join our team. If you're looking to work with other high performers and some of the latest technology, Adknowledge might be a great fit for you. I'm not a recruiter - I work on the team and I'm sending this out because I want to find a high quality teammate. If you have questions please let me know. I believe relocation help may be available if you know someone out of state. We get to work with a lot of different technologies and have considerable technical freedom. We're not burdened by the endless meetings, paperwork, and processes that you find at large companies. We do a lot of actual work, we do it quickly, and we have a lot of fun. Many people on our team are married with kids and we're all professional and reliable - flakes and incompetent people aren't tolerated. Apply online at http://www.adknowledge.com/about/careers<http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eadknowledge%2Ecom%2…>. Look in the Kansas City location, the job title is "Sr. Linux Administrator". Please input my name when applying online and send me a resume directly as well. The job description and more details can be found here: https://tbe.taleo.net/NA7/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=ADKNOWLEDGE&cws=1…<http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftbe%2Etaleo%2Enet%2FNA7%…> Also, several of our developer teams are also looking for more folks. There's a special need for competent Java developers, but I believe folks with expertise in PHP, C, Python, and Perl are also desired. I interact daily with those teams, so if you have questions please email me directly. Here are links to the relevant job descriptions: https://tbe.taleo.net/NA7/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=ADKNOWLEDGE&cws=1… https://tbe.taleo.net/NA7/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=ADKNOWLEDGE&cws=1… https://tbe.taleo.net/NA7/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=ADKNOWLEDGE&cws=1… https://tbe.taleo.net/NA7/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=ADKNOWLEDGE&cws=1… We're also looking for a QA Engineer and a Microsoft SQL Server DBA: https://tbe.taleo.net/NA7/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=ADKNOWLEDGE&cws=1… https://tbe.taleo.net/NA7/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=ADKNOWLEDGE&cws=1… I'd like to add that most of these positions are new positions and not backfills. Adknowledge is a growing company and has ambitious plans for the future. No doom and gloom around here. Thanks, Jeffrey.
