Interesting, but I don't live near a bay, and I never worked as a remote employee (not a
common practice in France, yet), so I suppose I cannot qualify...
Perhaps I can move near a bay of the Atlantic ocean, although I don't see how it would
improve my productivity (nice places, though).

OK, I joke, I suppose you are talking about the San Francisco Bay area, but it is funny as
it is a very "local" point of view in our worldwide Internet universe. Nothing in your
mail says you are in the USA, even if I suppose your site is more explicit.

All the best in your search, and for the candidates. :-)

That's funny, I was thinking more or less the same thing. That should be some kind of French mindset, I suspect ;)

I know guys near the Mont Saint-Michel bay who might be interested, should I contact them ? :)

French mind is always set to trolling ...

Not only French. I am no French, but I am included.

America lives on an island with the same name. The rest of the world does not exist there... :)

Quite true :). I think it's important for recruiters that explore the Scala community to know that Scala started outside US, and the current community is still a lot more international than some other language currently. I mean sure, any computer language has its international community, but for a young language like Scala, looking outside your borders might be necessary at this moment in time.

I think it's important for recruiters

I'm much more a scala fan than a recruiter :-).  
The important thing is that another company is choosing scala!

Point well taken.  Nest is located in sunny Palo Alto, CA, USA.  Most people are local, but we have a number of great software development employees and contractors in other places, including Seattle, Boston, Manila (the one in the Philippines :-)).  I'd be glad to add some European cities to that list.

Lee is also a Twitter alumnus, and I can vouch for the fact that he's
a great person to work with :-)

How would specifying USA help?  The Chesapeake Bay is a few minute walk from my house, yet I suspect I don't live in the correct area...

My remarks were not offensive, just light humor toward those forgetting
there is a world outside. :-) I still appreciate the offer (just
frustrated not to qualify) and the openness to telecommuting.

Nobody said otherwise! ;-)

I long for the day when Demonstrated Success as a Remote Employee means I'll be able to workfor a US company without leaving South Africa. Probably won't happen but I would love it, since I already work from home mostly anyway :-)
