Hi RebelMouse, Saw this post in the list. Let me introduce myself.
I founded this group in 2005, has been running it since then. I have written a few open source projects and published a few recipes in Python. Here to name a few. 1. HarvestMan - Multithreaded Python web-crawler used in a few projects notably EIAO and Egovmon (http://www.eiao.net). http://code.google.com/p/harvestman-crawler/ 2. Pyscanlogd - A network port-scanning detection daemon. http://code.google.com/p/pyscanlogd/ 3. My ASPN Cookbook recipes in Python. http://code.activestate.com/recipes/users/760763/ http://code.activestate.com/recipes/users/4169530/ Other skill sets include MySQL/XML/ReST/ etc. I have good working knowledge of Django, but never been a front-end developer so has not done much in Javascript etc, though open to that as well. I currently work in Yahoo! as senior principal engineer. Let me know if this interests you then we could connect!
