Hello All, This is just a general shout out to the community.
For the last 10 years I have been working as a volunteer for a not for profit organisation, doing IT, systems integration, VOIP, Internet and Intranet deployments, network installations and custom Rails and PostgreSQL solutions (including integration with SQL Server and Oracle) . Yes, that's right, volunteer (food and board only) but doing lots of work for Drug education, volunteer relief work, criminal and drug rehabilitation et al, it's been a blast. In February this year I finished as a volunteer (10 years can kill anyone's bank balance) and moved back into the work force and have been doing, among other things, consulting work for Yehuda at Engine Yard, I took over RailsPlugins.org 4 weeks ago and have polished it up to a high shine, this week I'll be finishing this project and so have a free slot and I am interested in any work people have available. I am the author of the Mail gem, maintainer of TMail and recently rewrote the ActionMailer API and am in the top 15 rails contributors. I code all parts of the Rails and Sinatra stacks, from spec'ing and installing servers, through deployment, high volume database design installation and deployment, web server deployments, caching systems, firewalls, VOIP integration, UJS, CSS and design, though I tend to farm out core design work to one of my design worker bees. I also happen to be an Internet plumber (understand routing protocols and can tame wild Ciscos). If you need something done fast (and correctly), perhaps an internal project that has been nagging at you and never done or a complex client project that needs that extra push, please send me an email. I am located in Sydney, but with the magic of the interwebs space and time are no barriers and if it is an interesting project I am happy to fly around to discuss things further if they need it :) I am also the primary author of the Rails 3 Release Notes (went through all the commits!!!), so I have quite a familiarity with Rails 3 and am available for initial work upgrading existing projects to this new little package of awesomeness. Oh, and if you are going to RailsConf 2010, I'll see you there! I'll be doing a talk on the whole TMail / Mail / ActionMailer fiasco :) Regards, Mikel -- http://rubyx.com/ http://lindsaar.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
