[Matt Patterson]

Hey gang,

I'm sure Josh is going to give me crap about posting a few messages but 
not showing up for meetings for the last 5 months.  Like this week, when I 
will yet again miss the meeting =(

I'm not sure if anyone is in the job market or not.  But we're looking for 
a monitoring tech to basically be our monitoring department at LightEdge. 
Some research and development has been done already but there is 
a LOT to be done.  You'll have the opportunity to make a big impact at a 
fast growing company.  The monitoring system is all Linux based so I'm 
hoping that someone in this group will be interested.

Here's the full job description:

operations of LightEdge monitoring systems. This person will interact with 
several different Operational departments and will be responsible for 
formulating processes and procedures related to monitoring of customer and 
internal systems. Person will be responsible for working with engineering 
to develop new monitoring system based on Zenoss OSS platform and 
migration of current systems to new platform.

Cacti, Nagios, Zabbix, RRDtool)

-High level experience with reporting systems (Sawmill, Crystal 
Reports, syslog data)
