As I mentioned some time ago, I'm now doing contracting. At my current project we need to get some more people on board. So if you're a Pythonista and want to work on exciting and challenging stuff for a couple of months (or more), read on!
The project is a large museum in Australia. On the digital side, the 10,000 square foot gallery features:
- a 14-screen touch "table" interactive
- a wraparound wall of community voices/faces
- touch interactives that solicit visiter opinions on museum content
- RFID-enabled passes that, among other things, provide content for non-English speakers and accessibility to vision impaired visitors
- roughly 45 short films spread over 20 different viewing areas
We are using all the usual development tools such as Subversion, Trac, branches and friendly code reviews. We are committed to testing and quality and we'd rather drop features than drop quality. We are collaborating with Basecamp and Campfire.
If this sounds interesting and you:
- are a savvy Python programmer with experience in some the following: Twisted, PyObjC, Cocoa or OpenGL. If you're a mostly Cocoa person with some experience in Python, you're welcome as well.
- have a Mac and know how to use it
- can work as part of globally-distributed team (museum is set up with network cameras for remote access, and you can work from anywhere in the world).
- are committed to testing (ideally test-driven-development).
- are available to work between half and full-time
Then contact my client directly at darran@edmstudio.com. Please provide an indication of your experience, your availability, and your sought-after hourly rate.
We're doing really cool stuff, so apply!

Πολύ ενδιαφέρον project.
Κάτι παρόμοιο υλοποιήθηκε στον Λευκό Πύργο, όπου φτιάξαμε το κομάτι του ελέγχου ροής επισκεπτών (ΣΕΡΕ), φυσικά σε PyObjC.
