[TriLUG] Job Posting: LAMP Programmer

[Rich Davis]

Hello all,

The FAQ informs me that I won't have to endure the fires of purgatory 
for posting a job to the list, so here goes.  We're looking for a strong 
LAMP programmer with a good set of OO instincts and a mastery of 
object-relational database design and querying.  We are a small, but 
rapidly growing, company called Lulu.  You can learn a little more about 
us at http://lulu.com/about if you'd like.

Lulu is a genuinely fun place to work where a premium is placed on the 
free and open dissemination of intellectual property and respect for 
said property rights.  It should come as no surprise that we chiefly 
leverage open source technologies in our bid to reshape the marketplace 
for intellectual property.  If you are interested in controlling your 
own destiny as a programmer, i.e. conceiving, designing, implementing, 
and maintaining your own creation,  please contact me at rdavis at lulu 
dot com about the job posted below.

Thanks,

Rich
