evolt.org Workers of the Web, Evolt!

We didn't hear much from our membership for June, so we decided to hold onto the June community news report and pair it up with July. We apologize to those whose information was held a month longer.

Now, we know the summer months in the northern hemisphere are slow, but there's a whole other hemisphere's-worth of members who have thriving businesses, so don't be shy about toot-tooting your own horn-horn. Surf on over to our contact form and let us all know what a swanky developer you are.

Evoltspottings

All over the web, people are looking to see what evolters have to say, and sometimes they point their users back to the source. Here are some of the pointers, all noticed this month:

• Blogzilla, a blog about Mozilla pointed to William Mason’s news article about new doctype sniffing in Mozilla, as did Mozillazine.

Thanks to the many people who have taken the time to cite evolt.org in their own work

Our members

Garrett Coakley

On the 1st July Garrett started his new job at Gencon. His main duties are web programming, system administration, and helping the company become more involved in the Open Source Community.

Now that he's down south again he should be able to make it to a few more London beervolts. Which is nice.

Jeff Howden

Jeff has recently completed technical editing of a newly released ColdFusion MX book, Inside ColdFusion MX, written by John Cummings, Neil Ross, & Robi Sen and published by New Rider's Publishing company.

In addition to technical editing, he was also asked to submit some tips for publishing in one of the chapters. He even managed to get a tip from Rudy published as well, athough Rudy made him obfuscate his email address.

As if that wasn't enough, he was also selected by Brainbench to clean an upcoming test for JavaScript 1.5 certification. He was offered the opportunity because out of nearly 200 beta testers, he had the highest score. And he's sexy, just like the rest of our members.
