C3 Media Group (Grow Charity Publishing)
Rails Developer for Contract Project+ (For GrowCharity.org)

Description:
At C3 Media, we create training and marketing resources for
professional advisors and charities (marchofdimes.growcharity.org).
Currently, our enterprise partners are the March of Dimes and Guardian
Life and we are neck-deep in designing a web-based pilot program for
the March of Dimes. The project involves implementing, via the web,
the next great fundraising effort the March of Dimes employs to help
fulfill their mission of saving babies. This is not pro-bono work
though; we will be paying well for the development of the project.

As a group, we've got the vision, big-picture-thinking, and resource-
finding thing down well. I'm pretty good at the front-end
architecture, visual identity and design thing; but what I don't have
is someone that can focus strictly on developing, deploying and
maintaining the functionality of a real application. (I can get the
basics up, running and deployed, but we are moving into the big
leagues now and need someone who is really a good rails developer/ruby
programmer; and can love doing it well.)

My ideal candidate(?):
1. Loves RoR development, deployment and excellent code
2. Carts around a MacBook; happily coding with Textmate
3. Is someone you'd actually like to hang around with (and have over
for dinner).
4. Listens to peepcode episodes at 1.6x speed because Geoffrey goes
too slow after the first viewing.
4. Can make Subversion sing but recently migrated to Git along with
all the cool kids.
5. Subscribes to SvN and has read "Getting Real" and would like to
have a project and people to implement some of that with.
6. Can point to some "out in the wild" rails projects they've worked
on or created.

I'm looking for someone to work remotely (Basecamp, svn/git, IM, etc.)
on a project basis; at least initially (there are no end to the web
app projects waiting to be developed around here). I've been in your
shoes so I pay quickly and fairly with no b.s. (Assuming you deliver
on your parts of the agreement too.)
