Hi Matt,

I hope you won't mind me contacting you concerning this, but I noticed
you're listed as the point of contact for the Northern Colorado LUG on
Redhat's website.  I work for a medium-sized web hosting/colocation company
in the DTC, called Ventures Online (www.venturesonline.com).  We're a Redhat
shop and having a difficult time finding new employees that are truly
skilled in Linux.  It was suggested to me by one of our employees that I get
in touch with some of the local Linux user groups.  I was wondering if any
of the members of your user's group might be interested in the two open
positions we're currently looking to fill.  We're currently hiring for two
part-time/weekend shifts -- the hours are a little wacky, but might work out
well for someone who's going to school or is looking to pick up a 2nd job.
Our support team is excellent (all top-notch Linux 'geeks') and the work
environment at VO is pretty laid back (i.e. Nerf guns required, dress code
non-existent).

Below is a copy of the job description.  If anyone's interested, resumes can
be sent to careers at venturesonline.com (which comes directly to me).  I can
also be reached at 720-279-2011 x111 if there are any questions on the
positions.

Thank you for your time!

Kind regards,

Erica Franzel
VP of Operations
Ventures Online
