Firstly, does anyone know of Perl training available in Brisbane? I did some web searching and couldn't find any. Secondly, Netizen (who I work for) will be running some in March. We'd like to offer a 10% discount to members of Brisbane.pm, but need to do some fiddling round to set it up (Gordon, would you mind emailing me off-list about it?).

Message-ID: Hi all The only postings lately seem to have been positions vacant. Anyway - I won't buck the trend. The company I'm with, Blue Chip Software, is trying to find a 'Perl Type' to work with me on a meta-search engine and a web email portal. It is primarily a Perl/HTML position working with MySQL and DBI. There is also some graphics work. We've advertised this a bit but so far nothing really appropriate. The plan is to list the company this year and to really make a go of it. The money is there it is really just finding someone with the right sort of skills. If you're interested email me. If you know someone please pass it on. If you know someone who is interested in getting into this area who has a basic skills set I'd be interested to hear too (I prepared to train someone at this stage.) Hope to hear from you (or someone). Gordon ps. You get to work in Cavill Avenue in Surfers (and that is an adventure in itself). You also get to negotiate your wage. From skud at netizen.com.au Fri Jan 21 01:57:31 2000 From: skud at netizen.com.au (skud@netizen.com.au) Date: Wed Aug 4 23:58:52 2004 Subject: [BNE-PM] Positions Vacant: Clue Installation Specialists (x 3) Message-ID: <20000121185731.A28508@netizen.com.au> Clue Installation Specialists (x 3) Ref #0007 Netizen, a Melbourne (Australia) based Open Source and Internet development, consultancy and training company, need between one and three full time clue installers to work in our training group. The roles are fairly flexible, and include any of the following: - Development of training materials (Unix, Linux, Perl, Internet, Database, Web development...) - Training (standing in front of a class and talking) - Training co-ordination (planning upcoming training, resource management, etc) As a training organisation, we pride ourselves on our Clue. We expect our instructors to have at least 2 years' commercial experience (and suitable war stories) in the fields they teach. They must also have superlative communication skills, including the ability to explain complicated concepts to inexperienced or non-technical people. This job may appeal to you if you: - spend half your working day beating some basic knowledge about your field into into your workmates, bosses or customers - tend to post long, detailed Usenet or mailing list articles of a technical or semi-technical nature - answer any question with "If I can find some whiteboard space, I'll draw you a diagram..." - have a passion for getting people to do things *right* - could happily extemporise on the subject of "a technical introduction to my favourite software" for a lecture theatre full of people A bit more information about our training environment: We run courses in Melbourne, Sydney, and other Australian state capitals on a regular basis. Currently we're running Introductory Unix, Perl and CGI, and Internet Fundamentals courses. Courses due for development Real Soon Now include Programming and Database Fundamentals, Advanced Unix, and "Professional Web Development" (aka "HTML Done Right, Dammit"). Each course is developed by a small group of Netizen people, usually with one development lead driving the process. Our standard format for training materials is Docbook. Once a beta-level draft is available, the courses undergo "beta testing" with a group of volunteer trainees who roughly match the target audience of the course. After beta testing, any bugs are ironed out and the course is ready to go live. We also run corporate training on-site for companies around Australia, often developing custom material to meet their needs. A trainer can usually expect to spend about ten days a month actually teaching classes. Most courses are in blocks of two days. The rest of the time is spent revising, improving or developing training materials, or working on miscellaneous other projects of a technical nature. There is scope for "pet projects" of an Open Source nature, and trainers are encouraged to write papers and articles, present at conferences, etc. The training group currently consists of two part time trainers (one of whom is also currently the training co-ordinator) and a part time admin assistant. Training development occurs with the assistance of Netizen's technical writer and other technical staff. By the end of 2000, we hope to expand the group to approximately three FTE trainers, one full time co-ordinator, one FTE training developer/ writer, and additional support staff including sales and administration. We also plan to open our own specialised training facility in the Melbourne CBD. If you would like to join us in the noble endeavour of Clue Installation, then please contact jobs@netizen.com.au with a resume in TEXT FORMAT ONLY. Other information you might like to know: Salary: $40k plus (quite negotiable) plus profit share etc etc Salary/Performance review at 3 and 6 months Other benefits: - very casual work environment - no dress code (exception: neat casual with Netizen tshirt when teaching) - near-total flex time/telecommute (except when teaching) - travel (2-10 days/month, negotiable) - good technical library, including Wall Of O'Reilly - beanbags, inflatable furniture, soft toys, lego in office - non-pointy-haired bosses - choose your own desktop operating system - et cetera et cetera We are planning to fill these three positions gradually between March and July-ish, 2000. Netizen are currently only able to employ Australian citizens or those with permanent residency status, but are in the process of seeking permission to employ immigrants. If you're not currently an Australian citizen or permanent resident, send us your resume anyway and we'll see what we can do. We are able to cover relocation costs within Australia, and may be prepared to partially cover costs for people who wish to come here from overseas. -- Kirrily Robert -- -- http://netizen.com.au/ Internet and Open Source Development, Consulting and Training Level 13, 500 Collins St, Melbourne VIC 3000 Phone: +61 3 9614 0949 Fax +61 3 9614 0948 From G.Fletcher at mailbox.gu.edu.au Fri Jan 21 02:25:36 2000 From: G.Fletcher at mailbox.gu.edu.au (Gordon Fletcher) Date: Wed Aug 4 23:58:52 2004 Subject: [BNE-PM] life is good Message-ID: You could almost get sweaty palms with the possibilities of a position like this with Netizen. Any one of these benefits looks pretty attractive - very casual work environment I wonder about this one where I am. Working in Surfers Paradise where you've got content with men in dicktogs and women in bikinis to buy some lunch or pay a bill at the Post Office and yet the people I work with inevitably show up in a tie. I make my small stand by gracing the office tie-less - They expect it now. - beanbags, inflatable furniture, soft toys, lego in office And I though I was doing OK with a perl puzzle ball, an Obelix figure on wheels and 'Hack' from the show REboot. I'm eyeing off a middle Sepik mask that is in one of the tourist shops down here. - non-pointy-haired bosses Or ones who think that they are Elvis(!). - choose your own desktop operating system As opposed to a boss who now takes some strange perverted delight in looking at my KDE desktop and loudly proclaiming that he can't understand this Linux shit. At least he says it with a smile now. gordon From Sara at openhere.com Fri Jan 21 10:46:15 2000 From: Sara at openhere.com (Sara@openhere.com) Date: Wed Aug 4 23:58:52 2004 Subject: [BNE-PM] Your site has been included on OpenHere Message-ID: Hi, Your site has been included in the OpenHere.com index and search engine.
