Looking for Embedded Linux Guru to Architect next generation video conferencing system

Hi,

I begin by apologizing for coming into your group, one of the last bastions of privacy, but I would like your help and it won't take but a couple of minutes to either flame or help me. I prefer the former, but will take the latter.

The candidates I've found via the traditional recruiting methods, with the appropriate Guru status, are not available for a variety of reasons so I have come to you seeking your assistance to help promote synergy.

If you have a moment, here is the link presenting the project. If I have violated a protocol, I apologize and will remove myself from your group immediately.

However, if you have an interest, please let me know and let's take it from there.

Cheers,

Michael A Williams
