Anyone have suggestions on where to recruit Ruby on Rails developers? My startup’s in Berkeley, CA and I’m looking for a talented technical lead. I’ve tried LinkedIn and Craigslist but the pickings are slim. This project provides an opportunity to use OpenLaszlo. rocky at\_sign teampatent dot com ---

Rocky, Do the developers have to be in Berkeley? It appears so from your post but I have to ask.

I am happy in my current position for now . . . but if you are not looking for Berkeley locals, you might also try [rentacoder.com](http://rentacoder.com) and the like. They put coders and companies together for free-lance stuff.

Is it effective doing that? Since the message headers do carry your email in the pristine , untoched format already 🙂 I can see it being useful on web pages, but cannot see its usefulness in email message bodies. ---

You are reading an email, I am reading a newsgroup posting, someone else is reading a web site. The newsgroups and web sites normally don’t display the headers. For instance, your email address has been converted to a random string of characters @ [public.gmane.com](http://public.gmane.com). This may be mapped back to your address, but if I attempt to send mail to that address, it will bounce. – Ray ---

We’ve found several extremely good candidates on craigslist. You may have to accept some training though considering the newness of the language. We’ve found that a good candidate can get up to speed in about two weeks if they don’t know ruby or about three days if they do know ruby so it’s negligable training costs. Good luck! Chuck V.
