When HP announced that webOS would become an open-source platform, the company stated that it would be an “active participant and investor in the project,” and it looks to be keeping its word. The Powerbase has found more than 50 job postings at HP looking for developers in Sunnyvale, California and Shanghai to work on webOS and Enyo, the operating system’s HTML5-based application framework. The positions range from internships to both senior designers and engineers.
