Which raises a question, for either whoever''s in charge, or if nobody is, then General Consensus. (I think he works down the hall from General Failure.) What''s the feeling here on announcing work, or availability for work? The Google Group''s page doesn''t say anything about it, nor does the forum (at least without registering), but I haven''t seen many such posts, which I think I would if it were considered OK.... -Dave -- Dave Aronson, President, Dave Aronson Software Engineering and Training Ruby on Rails Freelancing (Northern Virginia, Washington DC, or Remote) DaveAronson.com, Codosaur.us, Dare2XL.com, & RecruitingRants.com (NEW!)

Hi Dave, On Sat, Jan 14, 2012 at 4:13 PM, Dave Aronson <googlegroups2dave-BRiZGj7G2yRXqviUI+FSNg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > What''s the feeling here on announcing work, or availability for work? > The Google Group''s page doesn''t say anything about it, nor does the > forum (at least without registering), but I haven''t seen many such > posts, which I think I would if it were considered OK....Not sure when the group''s home page was ''minified'' (or who is responsible for maintaining it at this point) but the convention wrt job postings _used_ to be clearly stated: Job postings need to be prefixed with [JOB] in the subject line. There was a time when there were a lot of postings from recruiters and several list members voiced a preference for this approach so that those posts could be filtered. There are a number of Ruby / Rails -specific job boards now and I guess the recruiters are getting sufficient response from those that they''re mostly leaving the list alone. WRT, postings for availability, I don''t recall it ever being clearly resolved. There was, iirc, a general feeling that shops advertising their services was both inappropriate and a waste of effort since the audience here was / is individual developers. I recall a discussion wherein the recommendation was that notice of individual availability be handled via a sig line. In any event, that was several years ago and, as you noted, the group''s home page (on google) now makes no mention of either case so I suppose folks are free to do as they choose. If it gets out of hand I''m sure someone(s) will bring it up again. Best regards, Bill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
