Bummer — my thoughts go out to the laid-off crew. We just filled two spots at DevelopmentNow, but if something else (php/rails) opens up here I’ll definitely reach out.

Sorry to hear about the cuts at OpenSourcery. It's a great group of people. For anyone with the skill set, I'll just quickly remind you that AboutUs is still taking applications for a sysadmin, a UI designer/developer, and a UX designer.

@GeekSalad Completely agree. But, on the upside, barriers to entry—at least as far as accessible technology and the power to do something incredibly cool with very little go—are much lower for these talented folks this time around.

That said, I realize that that doesn’t necessarily put food on the table. :/

Sad.

At Open Source Bridge last week it was scary how many people I talked to who either weren’t working or didn’t have as much work as they needed. Shades of 2002-2003; those years were brutal here in PDX.
