Hello, at Unto This Last we believe that technology can help the local craftsman compete with IKEA. We are a furniture workshop based in London, we design, make and sell furniture from our shop and workshop in Brick lane, E2, at prices you can afford.
We have developed software using Python in order to support our production system and use our main tool, a computer controlled cutting machine. Over 10 years we have developed a unique technology that allows us to make each piece of furniture, one by one at the price of mass-production. Our aim is to develop this software into a package that will enable other workshops to manufacture furniture on-demand on high streets across the UK. To do this, we need to upgrade to a reliable, network enabled system. Our vision is a web application where customers and franchisees can access hundreds of products, customise them, and send a digital file to their local Unto This Last workshop: a "Digital Craftsman Operating System". We were one of the winners of the Technology Strategy Board “Tech City Launchpad” competition. We are recruiting a python programmer for a 7 months project, January to July 2013, working full-time from our workshop in Brick lane, E2, in a team of 3. The core technology we are using is Python, using the QT and Django frameworks. If you are interested, please contact us or drop by our workshop to discuss. Thank you, Pierre http://www.untothislast.co.uk/ _______________________________________________ python-uk mailing list python-uk@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-uk
