Craig, I think you've hit on the first step already: try the list. Are you dead set on hiring someone, or would you be interested in contracting the development out (gesturing subtly to my signature line). There are a lot of good people on the list that could be of great service to you, but likely won't be available permanent/full time. Is this the sort of position you're looking to fill, or is it more a matter of getting you set up and transferring enough knowledge to maintain it before moving on or starting up a support contract?
It's also hard to suggest a job description without very much knowledge of the job. Is this strictly a DBA position? What technologies, beyond PostGIS/Linux, are you using? Will the position only be concerned with the database, or a supporting application as well? What stage of development is the system in? Is there still a lot of design work to be done? -- Mark Leslie Geospatial Software Architect LISAsoft Pty Ltd +61 (0)2 8570 5050 Commercial Support for Geospatial Open Source Software http://www.lisasoft.com/LISAsoft/SupportedProducts.html Craig Feuerherdt wrote: > I work for a small agricultural management company and have been > 'dabbling' with PostGIS for over a year now. > > We have started developing a (spatial) database to manage our assets and > land management practices.
