The event is set to take place September 9th-11th (a 3-day bake sale) and we are expecting no more than 100 people for those days total. Preferably we would like to have all goods baked and ready by that Monday the 8th of September... We would LOVE to have anyone who is interested in baking goods for this event to please let us know!

[UWAB] FW: [webmasters] Student help needed
by alicia＠cc.gatech.edu 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

If you are looking for work this semester.... :o) Alicia ________________________________________ From: Alex Agle [alex.agle(a)oit.gatech.edu] Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 5:35 PM To: webmasters(a)lists.gatech.edu Subject: [webmasters] Student help needed Hi webmasters! Background: OIT has a Distributed Support program, where we hire a fulltime IT person to work in a campus department. Usually that person is busy supporting the department and does not have much time left over to maintain that department's website. Departments are sometimes left to hire temporary help to maintain their websites, and the knowledge transfer of website maintenance is sometimes lost between one person and the next. As a solution, OIT is looking to hire a couple of student assistants to do web development work. The student assistants will have some fulltime employee oversight to maintain continuity and knowledge transfer. Initially, we will focus on projects related to departments participating in the OIT Distributed Support program. If this is successful, we may offer website development and maintenance services to other campus units. In order to begin this project, I'm looking for a couple of student assistants to get the ball rolling. Ideally, they would have some previous website experience and have HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, PERL, image manipulation, and SQL skills. Previous experience using PHP and PERL to access Oracle or mySQL databases is a plus. Experience with the Zend Framework is also a plus. We're looking for students who can fit approximately 20 hours a week into their schedule. Please have any interested students contact me via email or phone. Thanks!
