I (and my wife) prefer the Phoenix area.
The only reason I took a job out of state
in the summer of 2006, was that I was between jobs
and it seemed difficult at that time
to find something (in my field) in the Phoenix area.
Plus, it was a temporary (subcontract) job.
However, now I have found a job in the Phoenix area,
so I probably will not even consider moving out of town
in the foreseeable future.  I might consider temporary
work (subcontract) anywhere in the US, next time I am
between jobs; plus, a job requiring travel would be OK.
but  even then, my first choice will probably still be,  to *live*
in the Phoenix area.
This does sound like a cool job, though.
Let me know whether you'd like your message
   about this job
   (or, "a"  message, minus the stuff about
      my resume being "in front of" you)
   posted to the
      "PLUG-discuss mailing list" <plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us>,
   of the local LUG (Phoenix Linux Users Group).
Best wishes, for finding the right person for this position,
