> Have you ever dreamt of having a piece of software art (1) you could 
> call truly yours? Or had the feeling that most media art is dull, and 
> that you could do it better? Or had a marvelous idea you could not 
> realize for lack of time, commitment or expertise?
> Well, your chance has come.
>
> No need to mess around with abstruse programs or bother with dreary 
> code. The world is full of people willing to do the hard work for you. 
> That's what outsourcing is about.  Those are the rules of the global 
> electronic market.
>
> It doesn't cost much. Actually, just for this time it will cost you 
> nothing.
>
> Leonardo Solaas, an Argentinean programmer and net artist, suggests 
> reversing the rules: only once it is not the programmer who is chosen 
> by the employer but it is the employer who is chosen by the 
> programmer. He is looking for someone to tell him what to do, thus 
> himself outsourcing the task of getting an idea.
> Submit yours! Become his boss! Submit your ideas at 
> http://outsource.solaas.com.ar till October 3rd, and you could be the 
> lucky winner of a possibility to implement YOUR piece of software art.
> If Leonardo chooses your concept, he will become your outsourced 
> Contractor for
> this work, and you will be his Employer.
>
> You could learn about Leonardo's skills and interests (at 
> http://solaas.com.ar/outsource/leonardo) to figure out whether your 
> proposal would fit his experience.
>
>
> All this is made possible by Readme 100 Temporary Software Art Factory 
> (2) (a.k.a. the MetaEmployer). The resulting piece will be presented 
> at a festival taking place on November 4-5, 2005, in the State and 
> City Library of Dortmund, Germany.
