[Ottawa-pm] Anyone feel like living in Amsterdam?

[Yanick Champoux]

	Fyi: Booking.com[1] is hiring something fierce. They poked me as the 
Ottawa.pm master herder as told me to relay the following:

<begin snippet>

Booking.com is the #1 online hotel reservations company in the world and 
we are part of the Priceline Group[2]. Due to the rapid growth of our 
online business we are now recruiting for 25 Perl Developers to join our 
office in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Please spread the word among your group members and feel free to contact 
me in case of any upcoming local Perl events and how we might be able to 
sponsor you.

Here is some info you can share with your network about Booking and why 
we use Perl:

Perl is used for almost everything with a MySQL backend and Git for 
development. We get our changes out really fast; it's rare for your code 
not to be on our live systems within hours of you pushing it. As a data 
driven company we have a clear goal – helping our customers.  Everything 
we do is aimed at solving problems for our customers, if it doesn't help 
our customers we're not interested in doing it.

We offer a competitive salary, bonus and relocation package including 
the opportunity to receive the 30% ruling[3]. Amsterdam is a vibrant and 
thriving city offering a multi-cultural environment. You can read a bit 
more how Expats rate Amsterdam in terms of lifestyle:
