Make it happen and you might win a prize. Competition details: While we want you to develop an application however you see fit, we imagine entries will fall into three rough classes. None of these are required in an entry and they are independent of the judging criteria: 1. Uses of the basic O'Reilly book and author data, such as building a different UI to books and authors. 2. Interesting data added to the Fluidinfo book and/or author objects. Entries in this class would not build applications. 3. Mashups of original and new data: add to the original data, and write an application that combines both in a provocative way. Judges Entries will be judged by Tim O'Reilly, O'Reilly editor Mike Loukides, and O'Reilly GM Joe Wikert. Prizes In total, three prizes will be awarded: 1st prize: An OSCON package that includes a full conference pass, coach airfare from within the US, and 4 nights hotel accommodation. 2nd prize: Choice of either one 3G iPad 2 64GB or one Xoom tablet 32GB (second prize includes device only, no wireless service is included). 3rd prize: $500 worth of O'Reilly ebooks and/or videos; selection to be at third prize winner's discretion. Deadline The competition opens today (12:01 a.m. Pacific, March 21, 2011) and runs until 11:59 p.m. (Pacific) April 10, 2011. Winners will be announced on Radar on or around May 1, 2011. Restrictions Employees of O'Reilly Media and Fluidinfo are not eligible to enter the competition.

It is a job which allows telecommuting from your state. I have previously posted this job on the Perl jobs list but I forgot a very important fact. My client allows telecommuting from these states: CA FL GA IL MD MI NC NY So if you have the appropriate skills and are interested, send me your current resume in PDF or plain text (a URL is fine) and samples of your Perl code (a URL or CPAN id is fine). Send email to uri AT perlhunter.com and in your cover letter put your contact info (even if it is in your resume). thanx, uri The Perl Hunter has landed 2 choice leads in Silver Spring, MD. My client is seeking both a senior and junior Perl developer to work on their website. Both jobs are full time, salaried and onsite (with minimal travel). The senior job has a pay range from $90-105k and the junior position pay ranges from $65-80k. The technical manager (who is decent and smart) wants the senior developer to be able to take on a wide range of tasks and not need any hand-holding. One task will be guiding and mentoring the junior developer so some management skills are needed. This is a small shop so a broad skill set is most valuable. These requirements are for the senior position. If you have some of them but not all, then apply for the junior slot. Required Skills * Solid Perl, mod_perl, CPAN * Apache, linux administration * RDMBS and SQL * Release Engineering Desired Skills * MySQL server administration * Subversion * Strong shell * Endeca or other search engines * Experience with Akamai or other caching services * JBoss application server * B.S. or equivalent experience Computer Science * Ten years of development experience with at least three years in a lead role. -- We're hiring!
