As some of you may already know I was at Dragon Systems in the mid 90's
porting their speech recognition product to the Alpha platform (under
NT :( ).
The (then) director of software development just posted this to the
Exdragons list.

In my heart, I would like to do it all on Linux. All shipped code will
be on Windows for the foreseeable future. Since it will all be in Python,
most of it will be pretty crossplatform.
Please pass this along with that caveat.

Personal notes: Sean lead software at Dragon during the period of
time that their new continuous speech recognition (CSR) product was
developed.
That product, "Dragon Naturally speaking" is still considered the best
"CSR" on the market today. (it is now owned by "ScanSoft")
Managing large groups of software developers is never an easy task. At
Dragon Sean was an excellent leader who took care of his people. He
understands software development from both the developers and business
needs perspectives.
Full Disclosure: I have no relationship with Sean's company, financial or
otherwise. I'm posting this because I believe it will be a good place
to work. (even if it is (currently) windows oriented :).
