Downtown Chicago is completely full of "watch for falling snow/ice" signs all winter. Not a problem unique to this building...

Hibernate (and presumably any ORM) was never intended to be a complete abstraction of anything-SQL. Like others have mentioned here, an understanding of SQL must be had before using an ORM. The ORM is one piece to the puzzle, not a shield to prevent you from having to touch SQL.
One pattern I typically use is a take on CQRS: Hibernate for writing/updating/fetching/deleting a single instance of deeply-relational object model, SQL (I like jOOQ) for larger-scale fetches and any bulk actions.
Shameless plug for a write-up I put together last year: https://www.3riverdev.com/hibernate-orm-jooq-hikaricp-transa...

We're in the middle of a sales spike which will result in many multi-faceted needs. Even without the sales spike, we have a lot to work on! Some focus areas:
- Java development: Spring and Hibernate are requirements. Bonus points for jOOQ. - PHP development: Well-rounded, but initially WordPress focused. - Systems and API integration: Tie 3rd party solutions together into cohesive, automated strategies. A mix of API deep-dives, business requirements analysis, and custom development. Systems typically include payment and donation platforms, CRM, donor retention, mailing, etc. - Task automation. This is super multifaceted, but the typicals (Python, Perl, etc.) come up frequently. - Mobile app developers: Native and hybrid apps are in the pipeline. - Front-end developers
Must be fun and easy going. Must be used to remote, asynchronous environments. Our primary focus is serving others!

Apparatus Infrastructure Services is seeking positive, gritty, no-drama enterprise software engineers who have a proclivity for Java middleware. Our focuses include the Apache SOA stack (Camel, ActiveMQ, CXF, and Karaf), Java EE, and Spring, so familiarity and experience in any of those areas is highly desirable. Responsibilities include heads-down development, architecture, proof of concept projects, and demos/presentations.
More importantly, this is a consulting role, so you must be comfortable interacting with clients. You must also thrive in rapidly changing environments and have a passion for variety and quick learning. Someone willing to get his or her hands dirty and step outside of their comfort zone is a must!
REQUIRED:
Java development and architecture in complex and enterprise-level environments
SOA and web services expertise
Experience within at least one of the following technologies:
--Apache Camel
--Karaf, Felix, Equinox, or general OSGi
--Messaging (especially JMS/ActiveMQ)
--Java EE
--Spring
Unit testing & continuous integration testing
Agile/SCRUM
Comfortable in client-facing role
Thrive on change and not willing to be pigeon-holed
Public speaking experience
Open source experience -- we love contributors

It's self-hosted on Wildfly or JBoss EAP, but we're almost finished supporting Docker (ie, you'd be able to run it on OpenShift).
Disclaimer: I'm the technical lead for the project.
Feel free to take a peek at any of the new projects listed on http://www.theprobono.org. The project descriptions tend to be really similar to blog comment spam, so it shouldn't really be any different contextually.
Multiple freelance opportunities, including development, design, and video, are available at http://www.myrudis.com
One nitpick: I signed up for a programmer account and, when I was originally presented the "add your details" page, I'm 90% sure that a save button wasn't visible at the bottom. I had to hit enter when focused on a text field. The Edit button is there, though.
That being said, there are many opportunities to work on the projects, albeit a little less "directly". Companies like Red Hat have large teams dedicated to QA, support, etc. Most of them are actively involved in contributing bug fixes, test cases, and directly working with customers. These types of positions do not usually require as much direct experience with the project as the engineering teams do.
And as one commenter already pointed out, we're definitely hiring! http://jobs.redhat.com/
http://www.myrudis.com has several freelancing opportunities open for developers, designers, and writers.
http://www.myrudis.com has several openings available for development, marketing/PR, etc.
- really big organizations and really big service firms
- a wide breadth of opportunities, including grunt labor, etc.
- heavy mediation and forced processes
- large project scopes
The Pro Bono attempts to narrow its focus to connecting non-profits needing assistance on concise, "one-off" projects with remote (or local) professional volunteers.
Would love feedback!
