We’ve just posted a position for an Exhibit Developer/Technician 1 on Craigslist.
As we state in the posting… “We seek a full-time exhibit developer who can help us build and install computer-based multi-touch tables and custom exhibit installations. We also need help with technical documentation, email and phone support, so strong writing and communication skills are required. This is an entry-level position, so we don’t expect applicants to have museum or exhibit experience, but we are looking for someone with fabrication, shop skills, electric skills, and some experience with computers. We’re a small company, so we need someone who is flexible and has a diverse skill set.”
Please respond through Craigslist. No Phone calls, please.
Updated Friday May 22, 2009: We’ve removed this listing, thanks to everyone who has applied. We will let you know.

Tomorrow, Chris Gerber and I are off to Munich for Natural User Interface’s Multi-Touch Summit 2009. The meeting at the Adobe offices in Germany will focus developing multi-touch applications with Adobe Flash, Flex, and Air. We will be presenting in the afternoon and we’ll discuss our experience in using ActionScript 3 to create interactive exhibits. We’ll also be announcing some very important news (more on that later). A schedule for the summit is available on the NUI Website.
There’s more on the summit on the Natural User Interface (NUI)’s Multi-touch Blog.
