Below is a Scala job solicitation from Chariot Solutions, our food sponsor for tonight's meeting. I am generally in favor of forwarding Scala job opportunities to the list, but I'm especially in favor of forwarding this one. Chariot's a good outfit, and they've been good to the Philly community. They sponsor loads of user group stuff, and they're the ones who spearhead PhillyETE every year.

I'm doing some work (as a subcontractor) for Chariot right now, as it happens. I do not get any money for sending this out to the list, though. ;-) I just want to make sure this job offer gets the distribution it deserves.
