I would really like to move into distributed systems work. I'm working on some hobby projects to pick up experience and I found some great advice in the replies to http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2290180 but I think the best way to learn is to get my foot in the door somewhere and learn on the job.
Which companies/projects should I be looking at? Here's what I've got so far:
NoSQL: riak@basho, couchdb@couchbase
Big data: hadoop, disco@nokia, loads of analytics/advertising companies
Anti-censorship/darknets: tor, freenet, i2p
Media: bittorrent, p2p-next, tribler, playdar
Communication: telecoms in general, openbts, skype, twilio, telehash
Also, if you should be on this list and you are hiring:

Thanks
