I wouldn't normally forward this to FRIAM, but Don Hopkins is
officially a Hero Of The Revolution and a Man To Be Trusted. He
worked closely with me at Sun Microsystems on the NeWS window
system .. a very innovative PostScript language based window system
for Unix.
His career is delightful, including the open source effort for Sim
City. He is the inventor of Pie Menus. And definitely an all-round
genius any of us would enjoy working with.
So any of our Euro FRIAM folks may want to consider this.
Sorry if this is too OT.

Subject: Java/PHP job at TomTom in Amsterdam?
If you have a moment, I'd appreciate your help. Please take a look
and forward this job on to anyone you think would be interested in
the position, or anyone else who could help me find a great candidate.
TomTom is a great company to work for, and Amsterdam is a wonderful
place to live. The office building is right next to Centraal
Station, and has an awesome view of the IJ river, where all the
ships float by! And there's free beer and munchies at the Borrel,
the last Friday of every month.
Thanks for your help!
