Hi, I'm a member of the Columbia Linux User Group and I'd like to personally
invite you to POSSCON 2012.

The Palmetto Open Source Software Conference, now in its fifth year, is one
of the largest open source conferences in the Southeast and will be held
March 28-29 in nearby Columbia, South Carolina.

The event will be headlined by Scott McNealy, co-founder of Sun
Microsystems and one of the most influential and frequently quoted
people in the history of IT. Other world-class speakers include Shawn
Hartsock, Groovy/Grails developer; Larry Augustin; CEO, SugarCRM; Dr.
Douglas Maughan, Director, Department of Homeland Security, Cyber
Security Division; Jim Jagielski, Co-Founder and President, Apache
Software Foundation; Chris Aniszcyck, Open Source Manager, Twitter,
Inc.; and many others.

POSSCON brings together developers and business leaders together in a fun,
professional environment to discuss and learn about the latest open source
technologies and how to use them in your organization. Bringing the best of
open source concepts to the business world is what makes this conference
unique. In addition, the conference always has good turnout from the
government and healthcare sectors, many of whom are still learning all
that open source has to offer.

Early, early bird registration ends TODAY, January 31st, so
register now for the best deal. Please let me know if you have
questions and we look forward to seeing you in March!

Hi Gunnar,

I have two new presentations related to cloud/big data: scalable
session clustering for cloud applications and securing multi-tenant
cloud applications.

Is it too late to submit the proposals?

(I don't know how I missed the call for papers this year :( ).

Best regards,

Hey everybody,

Many of you who know me know that I love Ruby.  Through that love I have a
really sweet deal working for a company called Mojo Lingo that writes Ruby
apps for a open source telephony platform called Adhearsion.  We are also
all core committers to it.  If you haven't heard of adhearsion is it
really cool.  It allows you to easily write applications for a variety of
PBX's.  If you are familiar with this space it supports Tropo,  Rayo and
Asterisk and the next release will be supporting Rayo.  Also,  unlike a
lot of Ruby applications,  we tend to do a lot of heavy threading.  It
makes for some interesting conversations when talking with people like
Charles Nutter or Arron Patterson at the conferences because we are really
pushing the boundaries of Ruby threading in the C implementation and often
end up running larger installations on the the JVM.

So these days I work on a contract basis with plenty of work,  our team is
remote so I am able to work anywhere in the world,  my development machine
is a Mac (though we do have some that prefer and use Linux as well),  and
am encouraged to travel to conferences and talk about the platform.  We
all care about the quality and type of code we write so TDD is the norm,
we actively use CI and remote pair when we need to.....and I LOVE what I
do!

We are also looking for people to join our team.  If this sounds
interesting to any of you aptitude and attitude are much more important to
us than playing buzzword bingo with your resume.  If you have experience
using any of the technologies I have mentioned great.  If you don't,  but
show us that you have the aptitude and attitude we would be happy to help
you learn them while getting paid for it.  We loving looking at people's
public repos on Github or open source contributions so if you have them
that is great.  We also do something different than a lot of companies
when people join the team.  If we see a match after looking at your
background,  talking to you etc. we will invite you to join the team on a
part time (evening and weekend) trial basis while getting paid for your
work during that period of time.  If your style of communication,  code
quality etc. looks like a match,  and you feel the same then we invite you
to join full time. 

If this sounds interesting to anybody here let me know and we can begin
the conversation.  We are also not working with recruiters at this time
and have no plans to in the foreseeable future.
