Finding Top Talent
russell: People you know.  People you know who know. Fellow alumni.
Local meetings: Python, Java, Ruby, entrepreneurial groups.  If none, start one.
Craigslist?  I find clients there.  I dont know how good it works the other way.Talk to other entrepreneurs.  Maybe they have good candidates that didnt fit.Does telecommuting work for you?.  Then you have a much larger pool of candidates.  You may have to go on a contracting basis to avoid HR hassles.
