Jim Perrin mentioned a job opening on the CentOS list yesterday. I'd like to do the same, but I'm leery of contributing to topic drift. Is there any interest in creating a job-board section of some kind on the wiki? Anyone have experience with unusual problems that such a section might cause?

I'd guess something that 'moves on' might be a better way of doing job postings for CentOS. Wiki perhaps not.

As we speak, someone just posted to the CentOS forum looking for a sysadmin for their company. Akemi

Many other projects also have a -jobs list, doesn't seem to be a problem there. -- Daniel

On the other hand google is rather fast indexing well known and fast changing pages, so job offers probably will show up in google pretty soonish. But yes, I'd be all in favour for a CentOS-jobs list - which has to be linked to from some prominent places. Too bad that pipermail doesn't offer any rss feeds from mail list archives ...

Too bad that pipermail doesn't > offer any rss feeds from mail list archives ... a -jobs list sounds good to me, do you want to bring this up on the centos-devel list and we can take it from there ( since we dont actually have an admin list, i guess the -devel list is the best place for this sort of a thing ) w.r.t rss feed etc, well - we can work that out, and make it happen :D Also, are there any general guidelines for jobs lists ? should they be only moderated ? should they be open lists ?

I only know that from usenet: You have a moderated jobs group for job-openings and/or job-requests (do we want that? I don't think so) - and an unmoderated discussion list for those offerings. But I don't think we want that either, as that often can lead to nice flame wars about job offerings. But if there is to be a list for offers, it should be moderated - if only to check offers for sanity. This has two advantages: Weed out jobs which don't meet "standards" (Is it a CentOS related offer? Is it some "work from home" snowball scheme?) and people who want to offer jobs do not have to subscribe to the mailing list. We have to set those standards before opening such a list - that probably should be done on -devel, as it clearly has nothing to do with documentation >:) Cheers, Ralph -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
