Hello Michael,

i read your post to this mailing list in which you explained your  
reasons  
for choosing RoR over Java (Hibernate, …) for implementing [Gusto.com](http://Gusto.com)  
and i  
can certainly agree to what you said. I have been working with Java  
since  
1997 and i’m happy to be using RoR now and do better programming in  
shorter  
time cycles.

I am interested in a contracting opportunity for the [Gusto.com](http://Gusto.com)  
development  
but i’m living in Europe, Belgium to be precise.  
I was wondering if you will consider contracters from outside of the US.

I know 37Signals has worked with DHH living in Denmark so it is  
certainly  
possible (and i’m not DHH 😉 ) but i don’t know if you are open to this  
kind of setup.

Thanks for your time

Best regards

Werner

Hello Werner -

Yes we are considering international Rails programmers for this project  
assuming you can speak English (which apparently you can since you can  
type  
it :-)). If you wouldn’t mind sending me a resume to removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid  
then I  
can review it and maybe schedule a time to give you a phone call.

Thanks for your interest in [Gusto.com](http://Gusto.com)

Michael E.
