Re: [JOB] freelancer for long-term
Hi vordoo,
The projects range in time from one or two days per week for a year,
to 12 hours a day for two months.
The work is
* doing a board bring-up for a bleeding edge Broadcom board
* porting a Windows command and control application to Linux
* porting a video application from an old ARM SoC to a newer one with a newer
kernel
* write a gtk+2 desktop on LXDE
* write a PCIe host-to-host bridge driver for a PLX chip
* writing a high-level packet handling library for DPDK for DPI applications
and similar.
The rationale is that we have more projects than we can currently do, the
expertise we need is in different areas, and the time frame is limited, so
it makes sense to develop a pool of freelancers who can meet specific
needs rather than to try to find a single salaried employee who would try
to do everything. We would like to have the best of both worlds, meaning
that we would like to develop a stable pool of consultants for the
long-term.
Shavua tov,
- yba

Re: Which company or individual can sponsor me on a summer trip to Europe?
Ok, I'll jump on this wagon, I also want sponsorship, I ask for half the amount that Shlomi is asking. I will use the money to buy a sailing yacht and sail around the world, Ok maybe not around the world but at least in the Mediterranean. In return to this generous sponsorship I will put the name of the company on the sails of the yacht. Note that sail areas is around 30 sqr. meters so there is a huge area for a big add. Any takers? N.B. regard this message a humor (although I would not resist to really get such donation) I already have my own company, however this company's earnings at this point allow me to sponsor a little more then Falafel dish at a Kiosk stand, it still does not allow me to sponsor neither my own yacht nor Shlomi's trip. -- Ori Idan On Sat, Jul 5, 2014 at 7:28 AM, Shlomi Fish shlo...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Geoffrey, hope you had a great Shabbath by the time you're reading it.

Not only do I not think this belongs on this list, but it's ridiculous. Why do you feel it does not belong on this list? Many people here offer jobs or ask for jobs, and my offer can provide a lot of promotion and publicity to a company/individual/organisation who wishes to sponsor me. Regarding ridiculous there is http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/show.cgi?id=same-ideas-as-everybody-else : « If you have the same ideas as everybody else, but have them one week earlier than everyone else - then you will be hailed as a visionary. But if you have them five years earlier, you will be named a lunatic. » Some of the things I predicted and/or projected are: * http://www.advogato.org/article/361.html - world-editable screenplays for films back in 2001 - I was told it will likely not going to work, but now there are many screenplay projects which use wiki-style interfaces, and there quite a many successful world-editable-or-almost-world-editable wikis out there (e.g: the Wikimedia project, the Wikias, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_Tropes ). * http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/human-hacking/ - in this story I describe FOSS (and to a lesser extent open content/culture) geeks, and especially female geeks, as chic, intelligent, attractive, socially capable, and sexually assertive, and not only are they mainstream, but they are the alphas - the constant object of attraction and often jealousy of their peers. Back after I finished writing it in 2004 and publicised it for scrutiny on the linux-elitists mailing list - http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/human-hacking/conclusions/#review--modus-operandi - I was criticised for making it look like being a FOSS/open-culture hacker was a gateway to popularity, but now it is quite common all around the world, as exemplified by the success of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Bang_Theory , and not only are almost all attractive female attracted to geeks, but most of them are geeky[Geeky] themselves, *and* yet they are not socially awkward or sexually inept. [Geeky] - see http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=401 for what is a geek , as well as what Paul Graham wrote about amateurs and hackers. If I were in a position to sponsor anyone for more than a felafel at a stand up kiosk, I would consider this so unreasonable that it's just laughable. As I said, IF I were going to fund someone, I might consider a plan that includes 2 $1,000 airplane tickets, and about $1,000 a week for hotel, food, transportation within each country and train fare to the next country, for a week in a country to give 4-5 FOSS lectures, and then move on. You probably could start in the Irish Republic and bounce along to the Russian Republic which would take around 15-20 weeks. My lectures are not only about FOSS - they are also about free/open culture/content, and mix and match other topics such as love/romance/relationships, action, humour, history, science, amateur philosophy, etc. See: http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/ Anyway, you are right that I probably overestimated the cost and can survive on much less. Regarding Ireland - Russia - I'm not interested only in software development hubs, but in general - every centre of commerce is game for me: Rome, Athens, Istanbul, Berlin, London, Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Vienna, Riga, Vilnius, Budapest, Bucharest, etc. etc. Or you could the same thing for about 1.5 times the money in the US, which would take an entire year, one week per state.

Re: Which company or individual can sponsor me on a summer trip to Europe?
But your, Geoff, incendiary remarks re RMS, are quite out of place. RMS' laudable stance on BDS is quite irrelevant to this list, in my opinion. Incendiary or not, his actions did have an effect upon the FOSS community. Besides any direct effect in relation to RMS , the FSS and project GNU, which is debatable, it caused Larry Ellison, who is a big supporter of Israel in general and Sderot in particular to look elsewhere for his open source aspirations. By the time Oracle bought SUN, Solaris had become almost another Linux distro. It included the SUN UNIX Kernel, and a lot of SUN proprietary stuff, but more than half of it was project GNU software. You could see that the intention was to replace the UNIX code with the GNU alternatives. SUN also released a copy of their UNIX code as open source, but not under GNU for legal reasons (most of it was already under BSD license). So Oracle dropped the open source Solaris version, it still exists, but there is very little interest or support for it, and the GNU code is slowly being replaced with non open source UNIX code or BSD code. BUT the biggest effect was that Open Office, which was supposed to be given to the FSF to help them replace their editor with something useful, never happened. Instead it went to the Apache Foundation and has been released under their BSDish license. So Marc, his actions may have been laudable or not, and my comments may have been incendiary or not, but in the end it means that we are even more so stuck with that f'ing editor. :-( Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
