Hi,
I wanted to let folks know that we have an exciting developer opportunity
for someone interested in web archiving, specifically enabling users to
archive and own the content.
I am the creator of a project called Webrecorder, (https://webrecorder.io/)
an open source tool designed to allow anyone to create a high-fidelity web
archive of any content, directly and interactively.
The project is part of Rhizome (https://rhizome.org), a non-profit
institution dedicated to promoting and preserving internet based art and
media.
Rhizome is based in NY, and I live in SF.
We are looking for candidates ideally in either the Bay area or NY, but
remote candidates are also welcome.
While we'll be offering a hosted version on webrecorder.io, it is equally
important to make it easy for users to install and run Webrecorder on their
own platform. (Think wordpress for webarchiving, maybe)
The idea is to empower users to create their own web archives!
The full system can already be deployed following instructions at:
https://github.com/webrecorder/webrecorder
We have recently received a generous grant (
http://rhizome.org/editorial/2016/jan/04/webrecorder-mellon/) to support
this work, and are now looking for a talented and dedicated developer to
work with me and the rest of the team on all aspects of Webrecorder.
Here is the official job ad:
https://webrecorder.io/static/__shared/jobs/developer.pdf
About me: I have been working in the field of web archiving for several
years. My other recent project has been oldweb.today, a system for browsing
old web sites in old emulated browsers, also in collaboration with Rhizome.
If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to me directly
off-list.
To apply, please send an email with your resume to:
webrecorderjobs(a)rhizome.org
Candidates from groups generally under-represented in the tech field are
especially encouraged to apply!
Thank you,
Ilya

If you're interested in joining the Commons Machinery team, read on to
learn what we're up to. If you're not, well, keep reading any way. You may
find it interesting :-)
I'm just back from a ceremony in Stockholm where I formally accepted the
SKAPA Innovation Award in memory of Alfred Nobel, which we announced
already back in September. The award is for our work on Elog.io and turning
the tables by putting provenance and users first, rather than copyright and
copyright holders. Over the past weeks, we've given a lot of thought to
Elog.io and what we would do different today. You can read that in my blog
post at FSFE <http://blogs.fsfe.org/jonas/?p=28>.
Some of this will serve as useful input as we work with Kennisland on a
fingerprint algorithm for videos, which enables the creation of a whitelist
and provenance record for videos. We're using some of the thinking from
Elog.io, and taking the opportunity while we're doing so to also update the
algorithm we used for images.
This is exciting work, but we would be love to have more people as part of
our team! For Commons Machinery, we're looking very specifically for
software developers with experience from developing Python, Node.js, and
with knowledge of RDF and semantic structures, ideally with a pinch of
maths and algorithm knowledge. Demonstrated ability to create a JSON API
with backend database and frontend tools would be welcome. Previous
knowledge of RabbitMQ and Celery beneficial.
If you think you fit the bill, or know someone who might, send them to
hello(a)commonsmachinery.se!
Stay tuned to this channel for more exciting news!
Sincerely,
Jonas

Did you know that in the state of California, you can become a K-12 teacher
without having gone to college? This is true of the "Eminence Credential"!
In order to qualify, you have to be known for having advanced your field in
some way, and get recommended by an employer. Details here:

Email Yvonne (bottom of the email) if you'd like to join this excellent
jobs list...

*About Hack the Network:*
This project is aimed at connecting qualified candidates from
underrepresented groups with job opportunities in tech and tech-related
companies. The goal is to use my networks to upend the current networked
hiring system, by tapping into pools of talent that people in tech don't
normally have access to.
*Here's how it works*:
1. Check out the jobs below. I’ve included links to their application
pages and if you like you can apply to them directly.
2. However, if you feel strongly that you are a good fit for the
position and would like a referral, send me your resume (even if you have
already sent it) with your name, the job title, and the employer in the
subject line.
3. If it looks like you are what the employer is looking for, I’ll email
you to schedule a quick skype call.
4. If we both want to proceed after that discussion, then I will refer
you to my friend to follow on with the application process.
I can’t guarantee that this process will land you a job. However, you’ll
likely stand a better chance than with just a cold contact. Also, I don't
post all of the positions that HTN companies are seeking to fill. So, if
you see a position of interest posted on an HTN company website which is
not in the newsletter, let me know. Please feel free to share this with
friends who are looking for work, potential employers, or organizations
which you think would be interested.
If tech is the future, we should have a seat at the table.

Anybody feel familiar enough with the wiley ways the Indian government
likes to snoop around? I work for a nonprofit that helps local folks fight
destructive dam projects, and though I'm working with an infosec consultant
to create a general policy and guidelines, our Indian office is looking for
someone with experience in the region to help them specifically. If so,
lemme know
