[line-devel] Job posting

[Erik P. <epa...@cs...>]

This is a bit off-topic, but I know there's at least one person who's qualified
for this job on this list :) 

My research project at the University of Wisconsin is looking for someone to 
do low-level hacking on Windows NT/2K/XP. We write a distributed batch
system, and Microsoft gave us some money to get the Windows version at the
same level as the Unix version (specifically, we want to support Process 
checkpoint and migration, along with transparent I/O redirection across the
network.) We also do a lot of work in the Grid Computing world, and there
would probably be some work on that front involved with this as well.

Please send any questions to me off the list, and I apologize if this is 
out of line for the list. The official job listing is linked to from
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/

Thanks,

-Erik
