[Zope] Jobs: Web wizards @ criticalpublics.com, Athens, Greece

[costis@criticalpublics]

We resend this in plain ASCII - apologies to the community for the HTML
litter in our previous posting. cd

Our job announcement (following)  may be of interest to the Zope community,
since Zope with Python is one of our foremost candidates for applications
prototyping (and possibly also delivery).  As we are currently starting a
fasttrack web communications project for a major public sector client,
perhaps one of you Zope/Python heads could be tempted to spend this summer
in Greece? The core of the project is to architect, design and implement a
very large information / community site, leveraging and further developing
components implementing generic functionalities.

As you'll see, the announcement is for regular staff positions, but in the
context of this project we could live with a short term relationship,
especially if we get to work with talented and results-oriented individuals!

If you're interested, and can be available say from mid-May onwards, drop us
a note and we can take it from there.

Best,

Costis

PS. Santorini and Myconos are only 30' away by flight, and Athens summer
life is, should I say, fun. The project is hard work, but we don't always
work on weekends!!
