[Django Gig - Sacramento/Bay Area, CA] Help make Django/FOSS a success for independent/local grocery retail

[Tony Schmidt]

I can read this list and the docs all I want, but there's no substitute for experienced code review and pair programming.

So we, the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op, are seeking a (preferably local) Django guru to help bring best practices to our in-house software development.

We have a small I.T. department with one full-time developer and are trying to liberate our internal systems using Free Software and Python/Django.  As a co-operative, we believe in local/community investment and sharing, which is why we are trying to empower in-house staff with custom software and tools.  We also hope to share our software with the broader grocery retail industry, at some point.  

We have been using Django for about a year for two projects, and are about to start a third.  We need someone to help provide support to our in-house developer 5-15 hours per week through on-site or remote pair programming and other means of collaboration to insure that we are building the best Django apps possible.

The current project we need support for is scheduled for a three month time frame, starting immediately.  We figure you probably need about 3+ years Django experience and some sample code/ sites/ apps to qualify as a “guru” - so please have that available.  Please contact tschmidt at our domain, sacfoodcoop, which uses the popular “com” TLD, if interested.
