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

[Richard Faulkner]

I for one "fit" into that category of windows professional who was a
Linux hobbyist...but my association with ALE was for the purpose of
moving from hobbyist to Linux professional.  That's why I joined-in with
this merry band a couple of years ago (or so).  Now I am paid to do
Linux and learn Linux more and more everyday.  All because I don't want
to do windows anymore.   The trick is for some companies; they want
someone who can do windows and Linux so you're kinda stuck per-se.
Tavarvess and I deal with both (as well as UNIX) but spend most of our
time in the Linux world.

In a perfect world I would like to think the postings could be Linux
only but realize that isn't always going to be the case.  There's always
the hybrid opportunity out there who requires the "Jack-of-all-trades!"

Happy Hunting!   RinL

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. :-}
