Posted 3/2 ABOUT US We're Best Practical Solutions, a small software company located in Somerville, Mass. We build software and sell support, training, consulting and custom development. Our main product, RT (Request Tracker) is the premiere opensource issue tracking system, downloaded by about 3000 new organizations every month. We've been around since the fall of 2001 and are entirely self-funded. O'Reilly Media published our first book, /RT Essentials/, last fall. This winter, we unveiled Jifty, our next-generation web application toolkit. We're currently hard at work on our next new product. Things just keep getting busier. ABOUT THE JOB This posting is for a full time Perl hacking job at Best Practical. However, we're _also_ looking for summer interns. If you're not graduating this spring, but the job sounds otherwise appealing, we'd love to chat with you about a summer internship doing similar stuff. We're looking for a mid-level Perl Hacker or two to help us enhance and refine RT, Jifty, and our Next Big Thing. You'll be responsible for everything from implementing new features across all our products to testing and applying user-contributed patches to our released software. In a typical week, you'll probably spend about half your time working on customer projects and half working on internal and opensource projects. The hours are flexible and we all telecommute some of the time...though we're just about to move into new office space in the heart of Davis Sq, Somerville. We do just about EVERYTHING online and on the phone. You should be comfortable using email and instant messaging systems to collaborate and get work done. This job doesn't formally require your full-time presence in Boston, though it would certainly be an advantage. We're a small company and the boss is typically overextended. You should be comfortable working independently or in small teams, prioritizing tasks on your own, and juggling tasks and projects. You need to be able to tell when you're out of your depth and ask for help. ABOUT YOU You should be a self-starter who has some experience with Perl, as well as at least a few of the following: * Test driven development * User interface design * HTML::Mason templating * Documentation * Web Services * Cascading Style Sheets * Javascript / AJAX * SQL databases * MVC frameworks * Optimization and Profiling * Subversion and SVK It's ok if you don't know everything out of the gate, but you should be able to learn on the fly and be comfortable asking questions when you get in over your head. RT is a large codebase to dive into (47000 lines of libraries, 27000 of templates) so you should be prepared to work with a project that's too big to hold in your head at once. If you want to see what sort of trouble you're getting yourself into, download a copy of RT's source code from: http://download.bestpractical.com/pub/rt/release/rt.tar.gz HOW TO APPLY Send a something approximating a cover letter, a resume in plain text, HTML or PDF form and a sample of your Perl code to resumes at bestpractical.com. If you're involved in opensource development of one kind or another, please tell us about it. If you have a CPAN ID, tell us what it is. We won't consider applications without a code sample. We'll be paying particular attention to the readability, comments and tests. .NET Consulting - 3-6 Contract ?

We're looking for an intern to work with our applications engineers on evaluating our next generation clock devices for high-speed networking applications. These devices provide clock multiplation and/or jitter attenuation. Responsibilities include designing circuits and software to make laboratory measurements of critical device parameters. Knowledge of software, analog circuit, and digital circuit design is required. Experience with microcontrollers is a plus. Basic hands on lab experience is also required. For more information on Silicon Laboratories and our wireline line of parts, visit www.silabs.com The contact person for the internship is Bob Coulter. To apply for the position, please send a resume to robert.coulter at silabs.com Travel to Africa this Summer with MISTI and iLab Africa project ? Posted 3/22/06 The iLab-Africa project is an ongoing collaboration between MIT and universities in Nigeria, Uganda and Tanzania. The goals of the project include the deployment of current MIT iLabs throughout the curriculum in African universities, the development of new labs within the iLabs architecture, creating opportunities for internships for MIT and African students and staff and the creation of a scalable iLabs research network in Africa. In collaboration with MISTI, the projects listed below provide an exciting opportunity to use your software and hardware skills in enhancing this collaboration while experiencing the higher education system and culture in Africa. The positions involve an extended stay at the Obafemi Awolowo University in Ife, Nigeria, or the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) in Tanzania over the summer ('06), with the possibility of developing into a Masters Thesis over the following year if applicable. The exact dates and length of engagement for the summer trips are very flexible. We have openings in projects in: - - - Developing new pedagogical content to be added to the iLabs shared architecture and used by students in Africa - - Developing a low-cost ($20-$40) hardware platform for implementing iLabs. There is some hardware work remaining, although the bulk of the work is software (including microcontroller, server, and client code) - - Designing and implementing server and client software that maximizes the reuse of existing iLabs components and that takes into account the usage of iLabs in an African context, in Collaboration with developers in Africa. The software developed will primarily be used to bring the National Instrument ELVIS work station online under the iLabs shared Architecture. Useful skills: - - - Most of the current software is implemented using .Net web services. Therefore, a solid understanding of Web application development using the .Net framework is helpful. - - - Experience in building UIs using Java. - - - An electrical engineering and computer science background. - - - Interest in traveling to and helping developing countries. In addition to the above skills, We are interested in hiring students who have experience with independent electronics projects, and can therefore help African students build up electronics clubs. At OAU for example,laboratory stations are often shared by 8 students, and for introductory classes, do not even include an oscilloscope. The school has close to 30,000 students, but the electronics department has only 13 instructors, of whom only 3 are professors. As a result, there is an extreme shortage of mentorship. By bringing the sorts of projects that MIT students do (Solar Car, MASLab, amateur radio, etc.) to OAU, students can overcome both limitations, first by pooling personal resources, and second by having older students mentor younger students, especially across disciplines. The students at OAU were very interested in pursuing projects like this, but need some help getting started. This can have a very large impact on the education of a large number of people. If you are interested, please contact gikandi at mit.edu or pmitros at mit.edu. Please highlight any applicable experiences that may help you stand out as a candidate. The positions are open to both undergraduate and graduate students. Visual C++ digital photography application ?
