My little three person consulting company has some availability to do iphone/android development right now. We also do Rails development, but we don't happen to have availability for that at the moment. You guys might not know me, but I've done some work with Mike Gehard who appears to be pretty active in the both groups. Please shoot me an email if you happen to know of a good project.

Thinking of having it as a two afternoon thing - 1pm to 5pm/6pm on both days of the weekend; rubyists getting together during Mother's day wknd in the afternoons and squishing some bugs in rails source code.... Here are some instructions I got from Aaron Patterson of the Rails Core team: *I'll try to outline the best things people can do. People should not feel required to finish all steps, and I tried to order the steps by experience. So, new people should be able to do at least the first step, and experienced people should be able to do all of them. But even if the less experienced people to just one of the steps, it will help the more experienced people out. For tickets that have no patches attached: 1. If the person hasn't provided enough information to reproduce, comment and ask for more info. 2. Try to reproduce the problem. Comment on the ticket with your results, including detailed steps for repro. 3. Write a test to demonstrate the problem and attach that as a patch 4. Write a fix for the problem to go along with the test, attach that as a patch 5. If it seems like it should be fixed in 3-0-stable, try backporting and attach the backport commit as well For tickets that have a patch: 1. Check to see if the patch still applies cleanly. Comment on the ticket with whether or not the patch applies. 2. If the patch does not apply cleanly, treat the ticket as if it had no patch (follow the above steps) 3. Make sure the patch has a test. If it has no test, either write one, or comment that it needs a test 4. If the patch applies and has tests, try to run the rails tests. Comment with the results of your test run. For either type of ticket, if you make it through all the steps, just assign the ticket to me and I'll apply the patches. You should be able to treat pull requests with a similar process. If I have time that weekend, I will try to participate. I hope that helps! * -- Cheers, Prakash N Murthy (347) 228 3993 http://twitter.com/_prakash -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Following the success of our recent Chef Hack Day in Austin, Texas, on Saturday April 30 we will have the first Denver/Boulder area hack day! What: Spend a Saturday hacking on Chef itself, or on your cookbooks. The idea behind the hack day is some or all of the folks attending have Chef projects they would like to work on and get help from the community in real time. They?ll be spontaneous mini-tutorials and brain-storming sessions on how to solve common Chef problems as they come up. Having a group of people + some real world tasks/problem + the Opscode team in the room will allow for some intensive learning. Pizza will be provided for lunch! When: Saturday, April 30, 2011, from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM (MT) Where: Accommodations graciously provided by QuickLeft. QuickLeft 1919 14th St. # 714 Boulder, CO 80302 Register: Although the hack day is free, we ask that you RSVP so we have an idea of how many people to expect, as space is limited: http://chefhackdayboulder.eventbrite.com/ -- Opscode, Inc.

Whether you're actively looking for a new opportunity or passively interested in seeing what's out there, Techployment.com is the best new resource for accomplishing both. You receive an email whenever a company posts a job. It's that simple. And it typically has jobs that aren't posted elsewhere. If you're an employer looking for talented programmers, developers, web designers, engineers or other tech professionals, it's current free to post jobs so take advantage of this opportunity now. Enjoy! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
