well, not mine specifically, but similar, just in a different location.  my team (developer and platform evangelism) is hiring in northern california (bay area) for a developer evangelist.  i think we have a really fun team and working in the bay area would be exciting (if i think my family would move, i'd consider moving).

what is a developer evangelist?  great question.  i truly believe it is what you make of it.  geographical areas are different, developer needs are different...but essentially our goal is the same.  i believe that goal to be a liaison for the development communities to microsoft.  there's a lot of "stuff" that goes into what that means for me, but you get to work on silverlight and other latest technologies , hang out with developers, go to conferences and speak, and work with a good group of people.

you can read the full job post details at the career site: developer evangelist, norcal.  if it sounds interesting, submit a resume.  got any questions?  let me know.  one of the other developer evangelists up there is my colleague and friend, anand iyer.  you can check out his blog to see what he's up to in that area.

the osi today announced the approval of two microsoft open source licenses, the Ms-PL (Microsoft Public License) and the Ms-RL (Microsoft Reciprocal License).  the osi process is one that is in the open and allowed microsoft and open source communities to discuss the nature of the licenses in an open forum.  as a result of that process, the licenses (after being renamed to the above) were approved.  the licenses were submitted to the osi on 10 aug 2007.

this means that ironruby is officially an open source project :-)

UPDATE: you may have noticed the "public license" -- no that isn't a typo.  this is what the community process suggested the permissive license be renamed to for osi approval...so permissive license == public license.

UPDATE2: (old) community license == (new) receiprocal license

you can read more about it here: osi approves microsoft license submissions.

live in the utah area?  join in the code camp fun.  the community there is planning a code camp.  see http://utcodecamp.com for details and information on location/speaking/etc.  It will be at Neumont University in South Jordan, UT!

code camps are a great way to learn and participate in community.  it is always free to attend and you will undoubtedly learn something that day.  and if you have something to share, register to present.  the code camps are for everyone...you don't need to be a professional circuit technical presenter to participate...in fact, the best presentations are from "in the trenches" experiences.

join the utah code camp!
