[socal-piggies] Python developer wanted

[Greg McClure]

Hey Alex,

I found this ad on the SoCalPiggies mailing list -- it's been awhile,
obviously, since I combed through the messages there. Was this position
filled? I assume so, but if it were possible that you were still looking, I
thought I'd inquire.

All the best to you.

Peace, love, global cooling,
- G.
