We need to hire an "application evangelist" whose job it is to update our 3rd

   Description:

requires an understanding of and experience with command line and phpMyAdmin 
manipulation of MySQL databases and some PHP.

      b) Locate and validate open-source and commercial applications available 
for Yellow Dog Linux and Y-HPC. This requires an active participation in 
lists, forums, and on-line research as well as validation and updates to 
current db entries on a routine basis.

authors/OEMs and help present business case incentives to bring given
