Hello, Would you like to be part of an innovative Open Source team
working on a suite of J2EE web-based products? Are you an excellent organizer,
presenter, and technical writer with a deep understanding of software team
workflows, processes,
and the Software Development Life Cycle? Are you proactive, energetic, and
motivated to make a difference? Do you have a solid, high-level understanding
of the latest Java technologies and
software engineering tools? Would you like to give Microsoft a good kick in the
derrière? :) Wanted ====== We are seeking a Process Engineer to examine and document
our workflow and other processes to maximize team efficiency and facilitate
rapid application development. Which skills do I need? ================= A good grounding in the Rational Unified Process (RUP),
eXtreme Programming (XP), and the Software Engineering Institute’s
Capability Maturity Model (CMM) would be very helpful, as well as a good
understanding of CVS and the
workflows in a software organization. If you’ve developed or implemented
processes in an organization before and are good at succinctly creating,
capturing, communicating, and evangelizing processes throughout an
organization, this job is for you! Who are you? ========== We are Noumenaut Software, a Java-centric Open Source team: http://www.noumenaut.com. We are in the
initial stages of a very major effort to create an entire suite of free
web-based Java products, from web journaling to project management, real-time
collaboration, and scheduling. We call these products the Noumenaut Suite, a
tightly integrated collection of web-based applications comprising a
“collaboration portal.” Our first major application, presently
under development, is Skribe 1.0, for web journaling. How much does it pay? ================= $0 per hour, $0 overtime, no vacation, no holidays, and no
weekends, either. :) How much time is involved? ==================== Five hours per week. Unless you’re
part of our commando team, in which case “five” is the number of
hours allocated to sleep per week. :) Are you insane!? WHY would I want to volunteer!? ==================================== We feel that there’s enormous potential for an Open
Source Java suite of
highly useful products. We have recently been joined by the award-winning Irish
web designer Matt Hutchinson (http://www.ijug.org) as well as
Sue Spielman, writer, speaker, industry insider, and President of Switchback
Software (http://www.switchbacksoftware.com).
In the future, we will continue to add a wide range of interested individuals,
from students interested in jumping into J2EE development to industry
VIP’s. We also plan to publicize our products very widely. This may
provide significant career and networking opportunities to members of the
Noumenaut team. It will
also help anyone who wants to learn J2EE to do so in the context of the full
SDLC, from capturing requirements to creating UML diagrams, configuring server
components, constructing code, and shipping products. In addition, Noumenaut Software represents a highly dynamic
and challenging environment for the individual who wants to contribute his or
her time and talents to help create a suite of products that can benefit all of
us, as well as a world-class Open Source organization. The challenge stems from
the engineering complexity, organizational challenges, and the human factors.
But that’s why Noumenaut Software will appeal to the outsiders,
visionaries, and seers just past the border of conventionality, far outside the
focal point of the mainstream, in the land of innovation and dreams where
engineering and artistry fuse into a unique creative production. How do I apply? ============ If you’re interested in the
position, please e-mail stevej@noumenaut.com.
Feel free to attach a résumé, if you like. You bet we’re insane, so if you’re one of us, come along! :-) We hope you’ll join us, Steve Jovanovic Director of Engineering Noumenaut Software |
