It would be great if you could please forward it to the list. Thanks a lot! Achim Hi! I am Achim Kempf, a prof in Applied Math. I have an idea for a new kind of location-based social app. Funding is in place and I am looking for people who are really good at making mobile apps. You could work for hire and/or become a technical co-founder. Sorry that I cannot yet explain more in public about the app because theres a patent application going on. If you are interested, just drop by at my office MC6322 or lab MC6334. Best email me beforehand at akempf(a)uwaterloo.ca to make sure Im there. Achim
