  • The Boca Raton Ruby October Meetup

    21-22 Oct 2009 in Boca Raton, United States

    There are a couple pre-revenue startups hiring and at least one of them will be in attendance at tomorrow's Ruby meetup in Boca and will have a chance to present their opportunity. There is also a small startup who is looking to change direction and needs a bit of a "barnraising" -- a weekend coding sprint to get them re-started. I believe the owner would compensate a small team to come in and knock out whatever can be done in a couple days. It would be fun and you might learn a lot!
