One question (from the South Pole) is "would the 'jobs posted' quality be better with the new system?" Jobs visibility would be better. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 6, 2011 at 11:15 PM, Jim Kinney <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jim.kinney@gmail.com">jim.kinney@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

EVERYONE on ALE os interested in Linux so getting paid to "do windows" is an opportunity to replace with a better OS. Besides there arw people who arw Linux hobbiests who are still windows professionals. I want them employed as well as subversives :-)<br>
As far as this link-in goes, I think any Linux distro as at least " also nice to have experience " will be sufficient. Clearly a job requiring full Linux skills will be awesome. Linux in the job title is beyond awesome! <br>
That said, if the ratio of non-Linux to Linux is "too high" (ill defined for the moment ) then I'll look at the filters and see about some rebalancing.<br>
I'm +1 on the payments to EFF reports and look forward to those becoming part of the regular meeting news and maybe a page on the site. <br>
Major coolness all around. :-}</p><div><div></div><div class="h5">
