New Memeber

by Joshua D. Demallistre

So, to make a story short I am a new member to this group. I've been here, close to the Worcester area and would like to meet with you guys. I have been using Linux for the past 10 years without a LUG, so this time I would like to do things differently, and get together. Basically I wanted to say that I have been a lone ranger for the last 10 year. I have been to the website but there is no mentioned of the next meeting.

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.

Truly Ancient Laptop

by E Johnson

We have here an ancient laptop -- Epson ActionNote 4SLC2-50. Belonged to my ancient father, who thought I might find some use for it. It's about 12" x 10" x 2" and not terribly light for its size. Built like a small tank --appears to be somewhat indestructible. Comes in its own rather decent black leather-like case. Has modem, battery brick, diskette drive, PS2 port, parallel port, two serial ports and a phone jack. It even comes with its own PS2 mouse which has a very stylish decal of Tweety Bird. The user guide is dated 1993. This runs Windows MS-DOS-whatever it was, still has operating system installed. Worked fine last time we turned it on. Memory is upgraable. I hope someone can give this a good home. Maybe you have a computer museum in your basement --this would be the perfect addition. Maybe you need this to run some special utilities at home... I'm sure this is infinitely modifiable. Hate to send this poor thing to the dump. Daddy is still living... would like to be able to tell him (if he ever asks) that the old laptop has been happily repurposed. We're located in a very easy-to-find spot in Worcester, less than a block off Elm Park. Someone must need this unit. We want you to want this. Thanks, Liz J
