[TriLUG] Mildly OT: Linux Appliance Creation Bounty $500

[Joseph Tate]

Excuse the marketing doublespeak.  Just make sure you get accepted before 
doing any work.  The "come to the office" is not a huge requirement.  
Basically they want to be able to get status from you periodically.

Do you know Linux?

Do you want to earn $500?


rPath is a Raleigh-based start-up that makes software that transforms 
applications into software appliances. A software appliance is an 
application combined with a Linux operating system in a single 
installable package.

You would learn our packaging system, Conary, and our appliance building 
tool, rBuilder, to convert popular open source projects into software 
appliances. The software appliances must meet certain usability 
standards which we will describe when the project is assigned. Most 
important, the software appliance must be easy enough for a normal 
person to install and use. Each accepted appliance will receive a $500 
bounty.

Qualifications:

    * You must be very familiar with Linux – not a dabbler

    * You must be familiar with Python development and Web application
      development techniques

    * You must be able to come to our office occasionally during the
      course of your work

To find out more about software appliances and our technology, visit 
www.rpath.com <http://www.rpath.com/>. You may also want to learn more

To apply for this project, please send an email detailing your 
qualifications to Marty Wesley, at marty at rpath.com
