[Chicken-users] We are looking for projects

[Felix Winkelmann]

Hello!


As some of you already know, I'm currently working for bevuta IT GmbH,
a software-development company located in Cologne, Germany. It is the
first time that I have been able to create software on a professional
basis using CHICKEN as a critical and fundamental part of real
end-user applications.

We are currently in the finalizing steps of a large project for mobile
platforms (Android + iOS), which mainly uses CHICKEN and Erlang.
Unfortunately there is no follow-up project yet in sight, which means
that the company would have to lay off some employees unless we find
something to do very soon. This would be a shame, since such a measure
would tear apart a dedicated and effective team of developers. 

We have extensive experience with CHICKEN, Clojure, other Lisps,
Objective-C, Android, iOS, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, JS/Web, C, Erlang,
VoIP/SIP/telephony and a little hardware-engineering. So far we were
fully responsible for complete projects, but we are also able to offer
development-resources as needed, for example on a contracting basis.

This project also was a serious test for running CHICKEN on Android
and iOS and we are very pleased with the results, regarding
performance, stability and convenience. A number of
extension-libraries and patches to the core system have been produced
during the work on this project and are made available here:

I would be extremely grateful for any hints or recommendations about
possible jobs for us. Or perhaps keep an eye and an ear open for an
opportunity. A bunch of motivated and productive programmers would be
very happy about a new assignment.


cheers
