[PHP] Looking for an Architectural Guru

2007-05-03 Thread bruce
Hi.

We're creating a small team for the creation of some specific web based
apps/services. Currently we are 5-6 guys, covering
design/development/sales/marketing/Linux admin... We're in the process of
rounding out the team with DB skills, as well as a serious senior level kind
of architect resource.

(We're looking in a number of locations, and thought we'd post here as well.
If this isn't the right place, let us know, and just delete the posting!)

This is a seriously risky attempt at creating a business as we're creating a
team, where there is no initial compensation/salary. This is basically a
group of highly skilled guys getting together, to build what should be a
couple of successful consumer/business oriented apps. The approach is to
create a Sweat Equity based business, where equity is distributed to the
team.

In order to really succeed, we believe we need a seriously talented, highly
skilled architect, someone who's been though the battles, someone who can
architect apps/services that can handle 100,000s of users per month, in a
secure manner. We'd like the guru to have an overall understanding of both
the software and hardware aspects of creating scalable sites.

If you're interested, let's talk. If you also know of anybody that might fit
this description, who might be interested, please pass this to the person!

Thanks

 sweat equity pitch

You might get more response if you include some kind of idea of what
sort of web app you are building...

Financial?  Social?  Entertainment?

It seems to me like we're back in Boom mode [1], and a sweat equity
pitch is gonna be kinda tough to fill, but who knows?

[1] So, has anybody coined Boom 2.0 yet? :-) I think I just did...

   Ha!  You and the 2.0 terminology

   If you're coining that, I'm registering the domain boo20.com
(boo2.comwas already taken).

...there's a word for all that. It's called a startup.
