Cool! Sorry about the stupid attachment format - at least it's Emacs)
If you remember back in the end of April, I've posted to the list an unusual job seek request [1], where I was saying that I want some company to sponsor me to work full time on mod_perl 2.0 development. Believe it or not my unusual request has been answered by Craig McLane from TicketMaster.com (which owns citysearch.com). citysearch.com is a heavy user of mod_perl technology and interested in making sure that mod_perl technology get more and more mature and ensure their business' success. So starting from this September I'm working on mod_perl 2.0 development, a new documentation project (which you are welcome to join) and doing mod_perl advocacy through teaching at the conferences and other ways. Currently the contract is for one year. But if everything goes well, and mod_perl 2.0 rocks the world even better than 1.x did we will see more support and sponsoring from TicketMaster. This email's purpose: - is to set a precedent for other business to sponsor mod_perl and related technologies. There are at least a few excellent developers that I know will jump on the opportunity of being able to do what they love full time. - is to set a precedent for other developers to seek what they really want and read less stories about hi-tech recession, since good developers are always in demand. Therefore I hope that this email will encourage you to do that.
