moin, moin,

There's a project to convert m$ wince app to Linux. It is financed by an
unnamed retail company of some sort and they needed coders to make it
happen.

They want to install small portable computers on shopping carts. Each
computer will show position of the cart in the shop, keep calculating the
bills and run ads. It is currently working with wince, but they'd prefer
Linux.

All computers will have wireless connection to the main server which has
the data base and stores information about ads, etc.

Rough estimate - 500 man-hours of work.

For further info contact Sergey Nikitin, Sergey@m-and-s.com.

PS A couple of years ago Sergey ported the JDK to Linux by himself and the
Blackdown Project needed to catch up to his work :).

ciao,

der.hans
