I am admitting being torn about this so I am offering both an apology and my justification.<br><br>The ALE-jobs list was formed to provide a moderated clearinghouse for job posting that are for Linux/FOSS positions in their entirety or partially. This position has absolutely no mention at all of any aspect of Linux/FOSS skills being either required, desired or optional. I would normally have replied back to the recruiter (the email was sent to me directly, NOT to ale-jobs) with a snarky "Did you READ my resume? Do you see ANY mention of skills like you are looking for? I don't FIX windows machine, I REPLACE them with working Linux systems!". If there is any mention of Linux/FOSS skills, I am far more polite and inform them I will forward their request (I have done many of these) to the ALE-jobs list and tell them where it is and what it's about. (The response has always been very positive!)<br>
<br>However, this morning I was checking email on my phone and saw the posting. On the radio was a blurb about unemployment still stuck around 9.6%. So I forwarded a temporary job notice that had nothing to do with Linux/FLOSS skills at all knowing there are many ALE'rs with windows creds that this position could benefit. I publicly hope an ALE'r gets this position and helps bring the joy of Linux/FLOSS to the poor winders-only company.<br>
<br>So for those that are offended by my passing along a non-Linux/FLOSS job posting, my humble apologies for this and any other possible future transgressions in the same vein. Employed Linux/FLOSS enthusiasts can do more good inside a windows-only shop than unemployed ALE'rs can do. Plus I know we have some very talented winders-admin types that are exploring the Linux/FLOSS world and they would benefit directly.<br>
<br>For those who are happy to see a job posting they are qualified for, please don't forget you saw it on a Linux/FLOSS mailing list :-)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 7:42 AM, Jim Kinney <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jim.kinney@gmail.com">jim.kinney@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
