Those who attended the dinner and/or first keynotes from tonight’s Utah Open Source Conference session may have seen a press release on display at KnowledgeBlue’s exhibition area. It announces the merger of Iodynamics into KnowledgeBlue.
So, no more secrets! I’m a KnowledgeBlue employee now as well as Mike, Adam, and Thom - my chums from Iodynamics.
KnowledgeBlue is based in Salt Lake City and is in the business of (my words here) gluing together open source software packages into systems that offer great value to businesses.
Another thing KnowledgeBlue is letting people know at UTOSC is that we’re hiring. If you’re a can-do person with a firm understanding and appreciation of Open Source software, check out the jobs available on the KnowledgeBlue careers page.
Congrats on the development, hope it works well for you.
Only issue I see is that the job listings all call for Java. Don't tell me that's what you're doing!
At this point, all the internal development done at KnowledgeBlue has been done with Java/Tomcat. I haven't really done any Java since I was in school, but at the level I'm at (architect), I don't need to code much.
While I prefer Perl to Java on just about every level, I'm not convinced Java is NOT the best language to use for the kind of applications and scalability issues KnowledgeBlue is dealing with.
I would say more about this, but if I add any more verbosity to this comment, I'll look like a Java developer.
