Cooper Press (https://cooperpress.com/) is a UK-based publisher of weekly e-mail newsletters to over 130,000 software developers - titles include JavaScript Weekly, HTML5 Weekly, and Ruby Weekly.
We're seeking new editors and curators of programming and tech links for developers (we are also branching out beyond that over time). You should have experience with content creation or curation at even a minor level (e.g. blogging, long term tweeting, link curating, writing a book) and be confident with terse, to-the-point written English with the ability to edit titles and write summaries of technical articles and open source projects.
We're looking for multiple curators in various (and general) areas and there are no fixed hours (but 2-6 hours per week would be typical). Please note this is not a $100+/hour engineering role - no development work is involved. However, we don't pay peanuts either and endeavor to be flexible and respectful to your requirements and schedule. This sort of role works very well alongside a full time job for some of our existing editors and can be a way to turn aimless Web reading and researching into a profitable hobby(!) :-) We are particularly keen for folks with experience with Node, the Web Platform/HTML5, and popular science right now.
To register an interest, e-mail peter@cooperpress.com with any evidence of your curation or publishing endeavors to date, the topic areas you're best equipped to cover (even if we don't currently cover them - we're expanding our range quickly), and your time or financial requirements, as relevant. I'll personally acknowledge the receipt of every mail.
SEEKING WORK - Remote or Boston | Washington D.C. local. Willing to travel.
You have a vision, a plan, or a project that needs to get done. You want someone who gets it. You need someone who gets it. Someone who won't waste your time. Someone who can talk to you, understand where you're coming from, and execute. We are willing to do that for you. To go that distance for you. Why? Because we understand what it's like to run a business. Big or small.
If you would like to talk about what we can do for you, then drop us a line at anna@amplete.com or (734) 315-0115. I promise that you won't be disappointed.

Back-End
Django, Twisted, Flask, Ruby on Rails, Sinatra, ASP.NET MVC 4, BackBone.js, Node.js, and Ember.js
Front-end
Bootstrap, Less.js, JQuery, Skeleton, Foundation, Cappuccino, Knockout, and Spine
Mobile Development
We have worked with iOS, Android, and Win Phone 8, developing 4 to 5 star applications that have 1 to 5 million downloads.
Examples
-> Re-designed a front-end as well as a back-end for a property management entity that has ~3 billion in assets.
-> Re-worked a ticket-reselling site that does $150MM in revenue in Rails (again front-end and back-end)
-> Developed an Android and iOS application that has ~4.5 stars and more than 5 million downloads combined for a start-up that had an idea but no technical staff at hand.
-> Developed an iOS Daily Deals app, again for someone who had an idea but no technical staff at hand. This app was acquired by a Chinese company for their locals for the low 8 figures.
If you have an idea, we usually can take it from storyboard to implementation for < 100k. Call us at (734) 315-0115 and we'll do our best to help.
We've helped entrepreneurs develop their MVP, as well as large companies develop core features. We provide services such as feature development, product management, and software auditing.
I need assistance in creating a database / statistical analysis of Lego pieces. You are free to use the tool(s) of your choice.
Here’s a brief description of the project:
1. For each Lego piece, find the minimum dimensions (x,y,z) of a cube that it would fit into. Round up to the nearest millimeter.
2. Analyze the distribution of the cubes, for example: “there are # pieces that fit into a cube of 10mm x 10mm x 10mm,” “there are # pieces that fit into a cube of 11mm x 10mm x 10mm,” etc.
3. The above analysis should be performed on the entire universe of Lego “official parts” that can be obtained from this site: http://www.ldraw.org/article/13.html (--> “Get All Official Parts”). There are thousands of parts.
4. Deliverables include the analysis above and the code and/or files that you use to complete it.
This is for a personal project. Ideally the analysis above would be completed in the next few weeks.
If interested, please send me an email at gthomps at gmail.com. Thanks!
It sounds like perhaps you are referring to cuboids [1] or some other three-dimensional shape, as cubes would have equal edge lengths - so you couldn't have an 11x10x10 cube.
Distributed team currently headquartered in the Umbrian countryside (Italy) with staff in Berlin and S. France seeks:
(1) Clojure devs
(2) Mobile wizards
(3) Security mavens
We are bootstrapping at the moment. Equity in large supply, cash on hand is minimal. Preference given to folks with some flexibility who are eager to try something new.
Currently looking for short or long term contracts.
Primary languages are javascript and python, with a history in php and a little bit of Objective-c. I have experience with many of the common client-side frameworks like Backbone, Knockout, etc.
I work with all levels of the stack, though my specialties are in client-side javascript and css and with js on the server with node.js.
As an example, jsonip.com is a node.js app that supports over 10 million requests a day. I custom-build most of my servers and have setup applications on AWS and other VPS hosting providers. Building servers from scratch is not a specialty, but I know how to jump in and get things done
* Good at all aspects of paid search marketing; use me to find out if you are getting the most from this channel or if it is claiming credit for results it shouldn't
* Onsite SEO; helping large sites make all their content reachable
* Web Analytics; setup the best tools to report on the right things. Then analyse the results to produce actions
I might be a growth hacker, or even a data scientist but I find these definitions a bit obscure; I use my skills to make businesses better.
Specifically, my skill are domain knowledge of the areas above combined with a large helping of maths and a bit of code. If that puts me in the buzzword of the moment bucket then so be it!
Freelance developer based in the Brighton in the UK. I can travel to London but I usually prefer to work remotely.
I love working on MVPs and prototypes. I'd love to help you turn your idea into reality.
I work in a range of languages but I usually choose Python when I have a choice. I also do a lot of work in JavaScript. I have a range of skills from web development to computer vision. I can help with Rich JavaScript Applications and RESTful API design (see a talk I gave on the subjects here[1]). I've been enjoying AngularJS recently, it makes some things very easy and is a nice contrast with Backbone.JS (which I also still use for other things).
A very non-exhaustive list of technologies I have built real things with (and enjoyed): Python, JavaScript, Django, Node.JS, Backbone.JS, AngularJS, OpenCV.

SEEKING WORK (native iOS), Remote (based in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada)
I design and build native iPhone and iPad apps. Most of these are distributed through the App Store but in some cases they’re only used within a company, as a tool for sales people or to work with custom hardware. I’ve been building apps for over 3 years. I’ve done every part of the process myself: starting with initial concepts then designing the interface, writing code, and submitting apps to the Apple App Store.
Most of my apps are under NDA but I've recently released a sailing weather forecast decoder: http://teakmobile.com/mafor
I've also done:
- daily deals apps
- robot controller over wifi
- custom SFDC sales scheduling and mapping iPad app, v1.0 of a chat client with millions of users
- long-term care assessment iPad app,
- real-time wi-fi automotive data collection and visualization app

Moderator in a latin-america forum for developers (www.clubdelphi.com).
Have provide training in advanced use of databases for several companies in the SENA (main government institution for work and advance in tech & startups in Colombia).
Not hate Database/CRUD work! A lot of experience in integration of different tech stacks and upgrading tech on several past developments.
Experienced developer primarily working with Android (plus Clojure & a little bit of Python / Django). I make the best Hacker News app for Android (at least Play Store search algorithm thinks so), you should check it out:
Some recent work includes apps for Tommy Hilfiger, Best Western, and a not-to-be-named major U.S. health & fitness company.
Available part time for the short term, and potentially more in the long term. I'd especially love to be involved from before the first line of code, but I do have a lot of experience saving apps-gone-wrong & doing Android versions of iOS apps.
SEEKING WORK - New York City - remote or local - projects of any length

SEEKING WORK - Remote (UK based, travel negotiable)
At risk of comparing myself to a fake horse, I'm something of the unicorn - happy working on any aspect of web dev, from the design & HTML to the bloody guts on the back end.
Been in the game for many years now so I've picked up a thing or two. I can also help with SEO-friendliness, things that convert from experience and so on.

Marketing Strategist for businesses and Start-Ups.
I'm an experienced Marketing Strategy Consultant that specializes in helping companies reach new customers through digital channels. I work with organisations that want to improve their online marketing results. I help them get things right on the web, point out the areas that need attention, what could be improved, and what needs to be discarded. In a nutshell, I help them make sense of what is likely to work for them and what isn't.
Past and current clients include QuoteRobot, multiple Blue Chip and Global 500 companies, some of the UK's premier law firms including one that got mentioned on BBC, a top-20 Facebook page that now has over 3 million fans, one of the fastest growing social media applications in the world, and over a dozen startups.
Basically, if you're company is at a stage where marketing is becoming imperative, or if your start-up has no one on board for marketing we should chat.
I am a human/machine interface designer && developer. My work consists of "from scratch" UX and interface design, from the napkin to nginx.
I have considerable experience with Ruby and Javascript, years of experience with Rails, and extensive knowledge of client-side MVC.

SEEKING WORK, remote or shorter on-site gigs. I'm based in Minneapolis and can travel.
I like solving hard problems. The point of computers is making life as a human easier, and my favorite thing is taking something complicated and difficult and making it seem easy and powerful to the user--whether the user is an end user or another programmer. In the past I worked for a Big Finance Company, working on things Enterprise Java and big databases, distributed systems architecture, full-stack HTML5 apps, expressing business logic with domain-specific languages, and performance and consistency of trade processing systems. I know a few different languages but am best with Java and Clojure.
I am a self taught designer/developer who believes in creating pixel-perfect designs and in writing clean, standards-compliant code. I have considerable experience working with Photoshop, HTML, CSS, Javascript and Ruby on Rails.
At least, one very specific type of work. Tarsnap keeps me busy enough that I don't have time for much consulting, but I'd love to work with any companies which have products built on FreeBSD and want to get them onto EC2.
My qualifications: I'm the guy who made FreeBSD on EC2 happen. :-)
In August I'll be at Puppet Conf speaking about how to get the most of out AWS and Puppet.

I have been a freelancer for 10 years. I prefer Django and Python but I also have shipped projects with Ruby (Sinatra, RoR), C++ and PHP (Wordpress). Server administration was and still is part of my daily life as writing solid, test covered code and doing the usual frontend work.
My partner studies printing technologies and joined me after finishing her apprenticeship as digital media designer, as one of the three best graduates in her year. Her daily work includes designing logos and brands (business cards, catalogs,...) and making the things I build pretty.
We typically work with freelancers and small businesses but also realized big projects for international clients.
If you are interested in working with us - or one of us - you can send us an email at info@blazeit.de

Do you use or rely on PostgreSQL? I'm an experienced Postgres hacker looking for new projects to work on. I can diagnose performance issues, optimize SQL queries, implement custom datatypes, develop PL/pgsql procedures, and code up C-language extensions. Also have plenty of experience with Python bindings, including psycopg2 and SqlAlchemy.

Designer & Front-End Developer, focused on product design and marketing.
I work well with developers. Best suited designing and building from the ground up, but not afraid to dip my toes into an existing code base and clean things up. You'll hire me if you're comfortable with someone pushing back against your ideas and asking you to potentially change them.
I have experience working with solo founders, small businesses, all the way up to Fortune 500 companies. I'm very laid back and tend to adopt a project as my own (if I like the goal/people involved).
I add value by knowing my way around code while also being a solid designer. I use Git (CLI) and I can work within Rails and Django. I don't waste time and I'm hyper honest about time, scope, and cost.
Velocis is your technical co-founder. We specialize in building out an MVP rapidly and getting you to market. We're open to both cash and equity compensation depending on the details of the project.

Leknarf Labs a small NYC-based consultancy, specializing in providing flexible engineering resources to startups and small businesses. The idea is to provide the guaranteed availability you would receive from a salaried employee, but with the flexibility of a short-term contractor. In practice, that means we work full-time, exclusive to one client for short periods of time (usually one or two weeks). That minimizes your commitment, while still allowing you to work with the same individual as much as is necessary.
I just hired a second developer and am in the process of building out the company website, but the current version explains the concept: http://leknarflabs.com/.
I am a web application developer with a full understanding of taking projects from idea to reality, and the full technology stack needed to make such an application come to life.

SEEKING WORK - SF Bay Area - Remote or Local - Long or Short Term Projects
I'm an expert at creating APIs and building client applications (browser-based and mobile apps) powered by APIs.
API Development - I've designed, built, and scaled APIs for many different application profiles, from large complex data models, event subscription architecture, high transaction volume (25K requests/second), to simple REST APIs. I have a good amount of experience analyzing data models and use cases to determine API structure, architecture, and recommended implementation. I know the ins and outs of REST vs RPC, JSON vs XML, and hypermedia vs traditional. I've implemented APIs using Rails, Node.js, and Java platforms. Bottom line - if you need an API developed, I can take you through the process from start to finish.
Single-Page JS App Development - I've led development on multiple single-page JavaScript apps in both desktop and mobile environments. I have significant JavaScript experience and have build full applications using Backbone.js and Ember.js. Recently I've been working with Balanced Payments to build a web interface for their payments platform using Ember.js. The whole project is open source - check it out! https://github.com/balanced/balanced-dashboard
Mobile App Development - I've deployed multiple apps across iOS and Android platforms for phones and tablets. I'm experienced in both native (iOS, Android) and mobile cross-platform HTML (Sencha Touch, JQuery Mobile) development.
Traditional Web Development - While I've spent most of my time lately working on APIs and API-driven apps, I also have ten years of experience doing traditional server-side web development. If you need a Rails or Java generalist to build a product, augment your team or maintain existing code, get in touch!
I'm an Android developer looking for some extra work. Over the last year and a half, I've developed PixStack (http://recursify.com/pixstack), a photo editor for Android. It's involved plenty of work with the NDK and image processing algorithms.

If you have a project you think I could help out with, feel free to send me an email! My contact information is in my profile.

I can help you setting up localization of your website, product or service and/or optimize your existing workflows. Recently I went part-time on my day job and starting up my own freelancing / consulting company, bringing my knowledge and experience from the translation industry into the start-up world which I'm following and have been interested in for years. I am also interested using my skills solving other problems you may have.
I have over 6 years of experience working in the translation industry doing wearing many hats: I am a Developer (.NET, Ruby, Javascript etc.), a System Administrator (mostly *nix but also some Windows experience), a Language Engineer, occasionally a Project Manager. But more than anything, I'm a generalist: I enjoy solving problems using whatever is appropriate for the task.
Some of my random accomplishments and pet projects are:
- Optimized a large Rails 3 site (http://www.rukkola.hu) for performance, with server-side tweaks and code-level changes (caching, queries etc.). Also created a bookmarklet for the site (https://github.com/KTamas/rukkola_hacks) that has now been shut down because it's features has been integrated into the website.
- Setting up a custom email server (Postfix, Dovecot, Amavis, custom Ruby scripts etc.)
- Operating a planet-line aggregator service (http://sharewood.hu) to act as a hub for content-sharing blogs (replacing the now-defunct Google Reader's sharing feature). A complete rewrite of an old aggregator written in Rails (https://github.com/KTamas/sharewood.hu)
You can also check out the rest of my github profile for some other things I've tackled in the past.

We recently launched a new version of http://www.myrudis.com. It's a new take on the freelance marketplace model with key, important differences. Freelancers, keep 100% of your income. Most importantly, SPAM issues are obliterated. You'll no longer drown in bids from individuals who didn't even read the project description. Employers, find freelancers who are really serious about the gig.
Hopefully that is acceptable for this thread. I realize it's some self-promotion, but really relevant.

This could be a long term gig if we work well together.
Please email at mail.me.to.my@gmail.com for further discussion.

SEEKING FREELANCERS / LONG TERM PARTNERS - REMOTE ONLY -
KICKASS CODE POET PROGRAMMER NEEDED - API MASHUPS, SAAS, WEB APPS, WEB SCRAPING, ETC.
NOTE: I'm not in love with any of the tech I mention below, so if you're interested but don't see your preferred development tool listed, please still get in touch!
Let's create code poetry :) If you are a creative, personable developer ANYWHERE in the world who wants to be a part of some cool, challenging projects, please get in touch.
I like modular, agile development where we prepare clear specs together to get MVPs to market. Let's target unique market niches and experiment with novel monetization and promotion strategies together.
Let's talk about a few of the projects I have in mind and the technology we can use.
First, project-wise, here are some things I am pursuing:
(1) Niche price comparison sites
(2) Unique web directory sites
(3) SaaS web applications
If selected, the first project you'll be working on is in the price comparison niche, specifically related to textbooks. Here's a GORGEOUS example: www.slugbooks.com.
When it comes to technology, you are the expert, but here is what I have in mind:
(1) Extensive use of APIs (datafeed, aggregator, etc.) to obtain real-time data and communicate or coordinate with other APIs (and utilizing programmer speak like REST, XML, JSON, etc.)
(2) Some specific APIs are already in mind, but one will be the Amazon API to utilize their product catalog data for some projects
(3) Leaning towards LAMP (PHP/MySQL), PHP frameworks like CodeIgnitor and others, and maybe utilizing WordPress at times to leverage their plugin catalog, obtain themes/frameworks to jumpstart visuals, and take advantage of better out of the box SEO structure
(4) Utilizing databases as well as API data to create auto-scaling sites where new pages are created automatically and marked up for SEO and user functionality, as well as maintaining site stability and user value creation
(5) SUPER IMPORTANT: Looking to utilize preexisting codebases (e.g., GitHub) whenever possible, as well as themes/plugins, art assets, purchasable solutions, or other ways to jumpstart development by spending a small one-time or monthly fee to save hundreds of hours of work.
In other words, no need to own a Pinto when we can rent a Porsche, right? ;) You may be familiar with ThemeForest, commerical WordPress themes (WooThemes, Genesis, Etc.), WPMUDEV, Twitter Bootstrap, and the numerous other sites out there that we can tap for resources.
In closing, if you have a familiarity or interest with any of the above, let's talk. Thanks for your time :)
Is your SaaS app growing & you want to continue providing awesome support for your users? Do you want to provide equally fast responses for your users in East Coast or European time zones?
My experience in application support will allow you to spend more time proactively improving your product, instead of reactively responding to e-mails, calls & questions.
I will :-
* Provide responsive friendly technical support
* Aim to delight customers, help them to get the best from the product
* Manage support requests from all platforms (e-mail, phone, twitter, forums etc)
* Use metrics & data to improve, refine & automate processes
* Identify patterns & trends that can lead to cost savings or increased profit
* Focus on efficiency, simplicity & scalability
* Demonstrate benefits & features to potential customers
* Integrate & setup new users
* Create 'living' documentation that is continually improved
* Explain complex technology to all levels of technical ability
* Train additional support staff
* Deconstruct issues to find a swift resolution
* Aim to turn complaints or negative feedback into a positive experience for the customer.
* Work closely with development to relay user feedback
* Build a reputation of great support for the company.
My background :-
* Degree in CS & Info Systems from a UK University
* 4 years as a consultant support technician
* 2 years working as Field Support in education technology
* Worked in a wide variety of industries, banking, ecommerce, retail, health, engineering, telecoms, recruitment.
* Experience with HTML/CSS, basic PHP & mySQL tweaks, SEO, PPC campaigns, metric analysis, WordPress administration, database design, data entry & cleansing, content creation, photoshop, photography.
* Hands on experience with Active Directory, Windows Server environments (migrations, consolidation, decommissioning), VMWare, backups, SAN, NAS, firewalls, SharePoint.
Would love to expand development experience in either Python or RoR.
Highlights :-
* Saved a company over £200k per year with a 15 minute presentation to executives. My suggestions are currently being implemented company wide.
* Performed a time-in-motion analysis at a mail order company. Identified a bottleneck that limited the number of orders that could be shipped per day. Developed a simple macro that cut order prep time from 15mins per order to 2 seconds.
* Developed a team productivity database to collate holiday, task & phone data. This provided a productivty score for employees to use in their reviews & an executive summary for their manager.
Previously the manager was spending 1 day per month to collate this information manually.
* Wrote a business plan that won a place on a business incubator scheme.
I'm passionate about providing great support and increasing the range of technologies I am proficient in.
I'm flexible on hours & interested to hear of any opportunities. Please feel free to drop me a line.

About Us
We are the team behind Mokriya Craigslist. Time, Wall Street Journal, Mashable, Xconomy, and a slew of tech bloggers raved about it. Check it out. http://craigslist.mokriya.com/
We are kind of a "special forces" team of engineers, UX designers, and thinkers. We have worked for some of the hottest tech startups in Silicon Valley, including Path, MixPanel, Threadflip, SimpleGeo, SideCar, etc.
Google has us on a list of "best mobile development teams in the country" so we get calls from them occasionally too.
About You
You're a Technical-Geek/Copywriter Hybrid. You are a technophile by nature, and love learning about and exploring new technologies. You don't have to be an engineer, but you should have a solid grasp of things like MVC, agile development, etc. If you know the other side of the shop (user-centered design), you get bonus points. Basically, you need to be able to speak intelligently about software development, specifically as it relates to Mobile.
Also, you should be very good at breaking down complicated ideas into bite-sized morsels of "oohhh, I get it" gooeyness. Our target audience are the business-people who make decisions about technologies to use inside of companies. The rare few are engineers. Most are not. If you can connect well with these people (the challenges of working inside a big co., getting projects out the door, playing the political games, etc.), then you will get more bonus points! :)
About the Work
We are creating a series of guides as a part of a larger content-marketing vision. The guides we write will cover topics like, "How to vet and hire a great mobility firm," "Best practices for creating a compelling mobile experience," "Advanced guide to understanding the cross-platform tools available", etc.
We have 2 full-time, awesome designers, who you will work closely with to make the pieces super-compelling. We will loosely borrow the style of these guides:
I'm good at what I do and I think you will enjoy working with me. I strive for quality and I'm passionate about teaching and learning. I'm friendly, easy going and open to feedback.
Warning: Incoming blatant self promotion.

Cooper Press (https://cooperpress.com/) is a UK-based publisher of weekly e-mail newsletters to over 130,000 software developers - titles include JavaScript Weekly, HTML5 Weekly, and Ruby Weekly.
We're seeking new editors and curators of programming and tech links for developers (we are also branching out beyond that over time). You should have experience with content creation or curation at even a minor level (e.g. blogging, long term tweeting, link curating, writing a book) and be confident with terse, to-the-point written English with the ability to edit titles and write summaries of technical articles and open source projects.
We're looking for multiple curators in various (and general) areas and there are no fixed hours (but 2-6 hours per week would be typical). Please note this is not a $100+/hour engineering role - no development work is involved. However, we don't pay peanuts either and endeavor to be flexible and respectful to your requirements and schedule. This sort of role works very well alongside a full time job for some of our existing editors and can be a way to turn aimless Web reading and researching into a profitable hobby(!) :-) We are particularly keen for folks with experience with Node, the Web Platform/HTML5, and popular science right now.
To register an interest, e-mail peter@cooperpress.com with any evidence of your curation or publishing endeavors to date, the topic areas you're best equipped to cover (even if we don't currently cover them - we're expanding our range quickly), and your time or financial requirements, as relevant. I'll personally acknowledge the receipt of every mail.
