Hi, This is basically a job posting seeking interested developers in the Boston area to work full time at my company. If you look at the job description, you’ll see no mention of Ruby on Rails: [http://www.bitgroup.com/about/item/85](http://www.bitgroup.com/about/item/85) [http://www.bitgroup.com/about/item/84](http://www.bitgroup.com/about/item/84) However I assure you, if you work here, we’re gonna have a frickin’ RoR Revolution! So uhh, send me your resume so I get the referral $bling$ Or, if you’re into the whole “discussion forum” type thing, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on subverting/converting a Java/J2EE shop into a Ruby on Rails shop. Jacob ---
