Oratrix Development is a newly formed company that originated in the
multimedia group at CWI.  The very same group that released both
Python and Guido to the Python community.

Oratrix Development is located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

We are an IT startup company that develops and markets authoring and
presentation software for multimedia presentations that are going to
be distributed to end-users via the Internet.

Oratrix markets its products under the name GRiNS.  The GRiNS suite
will consist of a GRiNS authoring tool for creating presentations and
a GRiNS player for end-user viewing of presentations.

GRiNS was designed to support the World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
standard language SMIL, the Synchronized Multimedia Interchange
Language (pronounced "smile").  Unlike HTML, SMIL is an XML-based
language that allows users to define temporal relationships among
objects in a presentation.

The GRiNS suite of programs is almost completely written in Python and
is in fact the oldest extant Python project.  Guido himself once
worked on this project (before it was called GRiNS).

We are working hard on the first GRiNS suite products and are looking
for enthusiastic

Multimedia Programmers/Developers

with knowledge and experience in some or all of the following areas:
Python (obviously), Pythonwin, C++, Direct X, Netshow, Windows
95/98/NT APIs.

If you are interested or want to recommend a friend, please send a
message to Manja Strick van Linschoten <manjasvl at oratrix.com> or call
her on +31-20-6795306.
