i know working for the man isn't popular around these parts, but if someone is looking for a programming job in DC let me know. Its a govt job but I love working here. Lots of freedom to work on projects that you want.
Dude, a friend of mine is in D.C. right now with top clearance. Rails and Java developer. Would love to get him out of the crappy contracting gig he is in. Shoot me an email and I will have him at your office in 2 days.
sorry, in hindsight that was overly vague. My email is jconline at the domain of gmail, I will send you a link to the job posting when it comes out. Also, we haven't done any Rails dev yet, to date we are all .NET / PHP, so if you only want to do RoR, it may not be a good fit. We will be doing a lot of drupal in the near future as well.
