I am starting a consulting business and am looking to hire subcontractors to work initially on a per-project basis (projects can be as small as a few hours) and potentially on a part-time ongoing basis. Focus is on developing Ruby on Rails applications.

The business is based in Boston, though you can be from anywhere in the world.

I currently need:

- HTML/CSS Designers - Ruby/Rails Developers - QA/Testing

Email me if you're interested (address in profile)

Is anyone looking for an Embedded Linux developer to do some contract work? I have a full-time job but I'm looking to supplement my income.

I have experience with x86, ARM, MIPS and PowerPC development on different kinds of systems from user-space apps to kernel drivers (wireless and character devices).

My contact info is my profile

We just filled a L3 spot, but we have 51+ employees working remote. And you can see when we post open positions here: http://www.site5.com/about/careers/ We mostly over the next 6 months will be hiring L1 and L2 customer service / support reps. Every so often though we need a Ruby on Rails software developer or something higher up such as an L3 system admin. Emailing us your resume if you are interested is a good way…

Interesting -- I've been a happy site5 customer for years, though I've never needed much customer service.

Still good to know you are looking to draw from the right pools.

We have several positions available at Remember The Milk (we're based in Sydney, Australia, but you can work from anywhere): - Systems Administrator - Software Engineer (Database) - Software Engineer (JavaScript) - Software Engineer (Scala) - User Interface Designer For full details see: http://www.rememberthemilk.com/about/jobs.rtm

A friend of mine applied for a position at RTM but the staff didn't even respond to the application. They didn't even respond to the follow-up email asking if they received the application.

You might be hiring, but you don't seem to be doing it very well.

Maybe they just forgot to reply. It's hard to remember to do things.

Relevance has openings for Ruby/Rails and Clojure developers and project managers with experience in agile. Our headquarters are in Durham, NC, but we are open to hiring remote developers (full-time and contractors) that are on the east coast.

For details see: http://thinkrelevance.com/jobs and http://howwework.thinkrelevance.com/

No agencies please.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Just to point out - "Please note that in general preference will be given to existing community contributors."

Also, I would add that those job listings haven't much changed in months. They are possibly just collecting CVs.

Nope, it's more that we just have several open positions that haven't been filled. Sometimes a single posting goes up for multiple positions, so it will stay up until all the positions have been filled.

(And while it's true that we prefer existing community members, it's not been a hard requirement for any of the open positions I've been involved with. You should certainly at least be familiar with Ubuntu and FOSS and support its goals, though.)
