I realized I wasn't clear in addressing the posting, and just one aspect |
| 2 |
of it. Without providing my reasoning, stupid assumptions :) |

I failed to mention in my posting that basically based on the above. |
| 12 |
While there are likely several current Gentoo Devs familiar with Java on |
| 13 |
Gentoo. I am not sure how many are doing stuff with JEE on Gentoo or |
| 14 |
other distros. If they were they would be on the Gentoo Java team :) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
So aside from what Betelgeuse mentioned above. Not sure the response you |
| 17 |
will get if your seeking to hire actual Gentoo developers. Thus I only |
| 18 |
addressed the contributing to Gentoo side of things. Since it was |
| 19 |
implied any person hired and/or the company would be looking to |
| 20 |
contribute back to Gentoo. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Not sure if you were looking to hire from say the community. Thus the |
| 23 |
posting to the list? Not that there is anything wrong with the email |
| 24 |
being forward for other Gentoo devs to see. Just not sure the response. |
| 25 |
So given the void in talent, so to speak. Which I assumed was more |
| 26 |
visible to others; lack of package JEE stuff in Gentoo, etc. Wasn't |
| 27 |
really addressing the employment side of things. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
What are your requirements, or in other words how can we help? Are you |
| 30 |
looking to hire Gentoo Developers, and have them contribute to Gentoo as |
| 31 |
part of satisfying your needs, etc? Or looking to hire from the Gentoo |
| 32 |
Java community? |
| 33 |

| 35 |
Personally while I am in the US, I am self employed. Short of |
| 36 |
contractual work. Most likely not something I personally would be |
| 37 |
interested in. I don't do much if anything with JEE, just use some |
| 38 |
components/pieces. Although I have wanted for a long time to see |
| 39 |
support, and effort put into JEE on Gentoo. Since we have little to |
| 40 |
none. So far no one has stepped up. Any potential there, I jump all over |
| 41 |
it, so hopefully one day. Someone will package and maintain JEE app |
| 42 |
servers, etc on Gentoo. |
