Re: [atlarge-discuss] Call for New Webmaster

[eric@hi-tek.com]

University of California, San Diego has just produced a class of  new computer
science graduates.  A few of which our firm planned to hire to work with us.
Our current economy and sliding stock market and our recent hiring of 30 in
Vietnam has made those plans delayed.  Intel was scheduled to hire a few that I
know but instead just laid off thousands.

Last night we discussed the possibility of some of them doing the web master
work as they wait for full time employment.  If this would meet with group
approval, I would take it to the next level.  We would write a couple of page
business plan, contract with my firm to donate equipment and space in order to
assure continuity, connect and include a professor from UCSD, and submit the
plan for grants as we moved forward.
We would reverse integrate it into a University project.

This I think would be a workable solution.  It would lend a legitimacy and
appropriate inclusion of a young people base of one of the most globally,
culturally and geographically diverse student bases in the world.

It is only a suggestion and it need go no further.  However I must say I will
put these young geniuses to work in one way or another as us older people
straighten out our economy and find them gainful employment.

My condolences to all without work in this upsetting global economy.

Sincerely,
Eric
