I'm the author of the CoffeeScript book, soon to be in print from PragProg: http://pragprog.com/titles/tbcoffee/coffeescript I also run @CoffeeScript on Twitter. I gave a talk about CoffeeScript at the latest RailsConf and am slated to present on CoffeeScript at the Web 2.0 Expo in October and Øredev in November. So as you might guess, I'm fond of CoffeeScript, particularly in conjunction with jQuery on the frontend and Node.js on the server.
Contact me if you think you might have a project I'd be interested in, especially if it involves novel UI design and data visualizations.
Who you'll be a part of: We're the developers of JDownloader, the market leading download management tool with over 15 million happy users. On top of that, we work on client-side applications for some of the top 200 websites worldwide.
With only 3 people, we're still a relatively small, but highly motivated team with high aspirations, great opportunities and an extremly optimistic outlook on the future. Joining us, you'll have the opportunity to experience rapid growth right when it's happening while actively being a part of building and growing a big company.
What you'll do: As (Senior) Java Developer, you're in charge of diverse responsibilities and work on them either alone or in teams. You're responsible for parts of JDownloader, but on top of that will also have your own projects or products, for which you take the lead developer role.
Because we usually don't have strict deadlines or draconic specifications, we expect you to prioritize and get things done by yourself. You should feel cozy in your code, but also keep an eye on things like SEO strategy, project- and product management as well as user interface and experience. Your own ideas and innovations for projects, features or products are more than welcome and will actively be supported.
Send your resume, links to your current/past projects, social profiles or whatever you think we should know about you to e-mail@appwork.
We're looking forward to working with you :)
I'm fluent in C, Common Lisp, Python, Javascript, PHP, basically everything that fits the "normal" programming model (OO and imperative and functional), with 15 years of hardcore coding.
Currently working in web (backbone.js, my own rails-like framework in PHP, some ruby for automated testing) and embedded software (ARM, linux kernel development, node.js and python on embedded platforms, 8 bit AVR development).
I am interest in projects that have a "creative" side, being pretty involved in building art installations, and the arts themselves (music, drawing, visuals). I wrote a book for o'reilly germany about arduino, and give workshops about electronics, arduino, processing (see http://arduino.ruinwesen.com/ for example).
I am looking for work to fill up my queue (currently working half-time), and would prefer small projects (30 - 90 days). I am mobile inside germany, but prefer to work remotely.

Nomadic - currently in New Mexico and heading towards the west coast around mid-July.
I've worked professionally with python, ocaml and erlang. I've worked in search ( http://bit.ly/ji-texsearch-opt , https://github.com/jamii/texsearch ), testing ( http://bit.ly/ji-fuzzer , https://github.com/jamii/ocamlcheck ), distributed systems ( http://bit.ly/ji-mealy ) and am making inroads into p2p ( https://github.com/jamii/dissertation , http://bit.ly/ji-telehash , https://github.com/jamii/erl-telehash ).

Nomadic - in central Washington state until sometime in September. Would prefer projects that can be completed by October, not sure I'll be freelancing after that.
Studying CS with good grades at a top university.
I have experience building web applications for in-house use by clients, using Ruby (Rails) and Python (used Pylons and later Pyramid, and did a little bit of Django). While I mostly did server side, I certainly know my way around the front end.

I also have non-work experience with Erlang and Haskell.
