Thanks,Rich. I tried to install Draftsight but it did not go through due to an error. caobin > From: wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org > Subject: Wlug Digest, Vol 82, Issue 5 > To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2010 12:00:04 -0400 > > Send Wlug mailing list submissions to > wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > wlug-request(a)mail.wlug.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > wlug-owner(a)mail.wlug.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Wlug digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

I haven't used qcad, but I've been using Draftsight on Windows for a couple months. I don't think it's open source [1], but it's the best _free_ CAD software I've used to date, and a Linux version is supposed to be out later this year. http://www.draftsight.com/ -- Rich [1] I don't know that it's not, either...

Job posting: Looking for Drupal developers

by Tatsh

We have 1-2 positions open for PHP developers who are familiar with CMS's. - Drupal (what we are mainly seeking) - Module developers - Extremely familiar with the API (if hooks doesn't sound like a familiar term then we are not looking for you; sorry) - Strong knowledge of SQL (we mainly use MySQL DBs) - Strong knowledge of PHP - Theme development - Strong knowledge of CSS, including IE fixes and quirks (forcing IE quirks mode is last resort) - Strong knowledge of HTML/XHTML and semantics; simplest HTML possible (not using a million divs; not using tables for layout) - Familiarity with mobile site development - Able to keep/make fallbacks for those lacking JS or other features (familiarity with a 'enhancement as enhancements come along' kind of development; not a 'worse commmon denominator' development style) - Joomla - Able to work with the back-end and customise it - Themers (same skills as Drupal) - Module development a plus - vBulletin - Templates familiarity - General familiarity with the back-end - Modules/products development is a plus (so familiarity with the terribly documented API is a plus) - Magento is a plus - Module development (we do not need themers at the moment) If you know PHP that's great but we really are looking for the above mentioned skills, not just PHP. Also we are looking for Flash developers for small things that will heavily use DBs for data, not their own internal data. Basically if we can say we need X and you can produce it genericised enough to work with any CMS or anything custom that we have already made but just needs the Flash element to be finished. We have an OpenSolaris server. All the GNU core utils are there as well as their POSIX-standard versions (default). Emacs, Vim, etc installed. We use Subversion for versioning so familiarity with that is a plus. We keep a KB so anything that is funky can be documented nicely. This is contract work; pay is hourly. No payments will be made until the contract is signed. Call me (contact information below). If I'm not there, please be sure to leave a message or you may try my cell 978-870-5908.
