[ale] [ADMIN] Partner opportunity for an Employment Listing Service

[Jim Kinney]

My rule so far on the ale-jobs list has been if it involves IT I approve it
for the single reason as MW said. 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 :-)
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!
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.
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.
Major coolness all around. :-}
