From: John Melesky <list at phaedrusdeinus.org>

The company i work for (Juju, Inc) is hiring. It's a completely distributed
office, so we're looking for someone who can work very independently.

I'll be at the meeting tonight, and would be happy to answer questions there, 
or by email (john at phaedrusdeinus.org). Applications go to work at juju.com.

Job description follows.
