I usually do not post job announcements on the front page here at CMS Report.  However, I think doing something that can help open source, content management systems, and the teaching community all at the same time is well worth bending the rules.  I'm not sure if the job is on-site or virtual so for those that that don't know, Perth is in  Western Australia.  Then again, if you didn't know that Perth is in Australia you probably shouldn't apply to work on a course management system intended to improve the learning experience.
