Hello Rubyists,

Here's your chance to work hard, for no money, in a dying industry!

Who:
A news executive friend of mine, who has mostly worked in bus dev (ex-Sky,
CNN, CNBC, AP) is looking for a cofounder for a completely new product.

What:
- good quality local news coverage is essential for democracy
- traditional local papers are not economically viable
- citizen platforms are sporadic in quality
- create platform to get citizen journalists to do serious journalism

Other details:
Make it up as you go along, if he finds someone with whom he clicks, but
for now, the following is probably accurate:
- no money until funding
- initial funding is probably modest
- work from home / remote management experience useful
- coding can be done outside working hours if you have another job
- 8++ hours a week for direct engagement with CEO

Let me know if you're interested, and I can send more details or make an
introduction.

Cheers,
Matthew
