Thank you @stevenflower, until recently we were looking for developers to work at Outlandish and at times it felt like an uphill struggle. This is a great idea.

I think it's probably fair to say we're always looking for very talented and experienced developers. We find there are a lot of junior developers that want training up, and finding enough people to help and support them is more challenging.

It's safe to say that Webarchitects are always looking for more one-off / long term / part-time sysadmin work, we have a lot of Debian, Apache, MySQL etc etc experience, our rates are here and a year ago I wrote a "clients wanted" email which has some suggestions regarding what an ideal client might consist of!

Hello - we are looking for, dare I say it, for a .asp & .NET developer to be technical back up, just in case we get stuck. We're only at pitching stage and need only a name for now.
(Rest assured, we are proposing the client moves to open source CMS & .PHP platform)

Hey Felix - it's been a while! We do classic and .NET (as well as open source, and java / Oracle if you happen to be a bank!). So let us know if you need any help ;-)

Of course, thank you. Nice to hear from you after all these years. I will certainly contact you.

While not really looking to employ anyone else at this stage, I think we are all into the idea of employing someone to do sales / business development to ease the burden in this area. tricky, though, as they'd need good knowledge of Drupal and the tech side of things, as well as getting the co-operative values and our own culture whilst being experienced at managing leads / clients etc! It's a pretty big brief, but maybe we're looking at it wrongly.. Any thoughts on this would be welcome!

@aaronhirtenstein I think one of the main potential benefits of the megazord is referrals and being able to share each other's space capacity (sales or production)

We currently have too much work and it looks like we're going to be that way until April.

The thing we need most is a senior developer (ideally Node JS + PHP) but we're probably not alone in that.

If anyone has spare capacity to deliver Node/React/Angular/Synfony/WordPress projects we'd like to hear from you. It's all pretty technical stuff so we do need pretty confident/experienced/talented/hard working developers rather than casual scripters, but we have an interesting mix of projects with plenty of training opportunities.
