Hello All, There are many reasons people post job requirements on this mailing list. 1. Most of the people posting job opportunities are subscribers to this mailing list and feel 'connected' to this group. They also feel like giving preference (by passing on the information first) to fellow linuxers. 2. Most of the people listed in this group are volunteers, they have genuine interest in technology and have a craving for learning and sharing. Most organisations (at least the wise ones) recognise these skills as far more important than knowing current technology or being a BE from an premier institute. Institute ka chappa can only help you get better job and salary, but you sustain it only if you are good in it.
I feel that people who post job opportunities recognise, patronise and respect our efforts to learn, adapt, share and grow with everyone.
Three cheers for group Rahul Chaudhary Solution Architect - Banking Solutions Wipro, Bombay

to LUG mailing list. Let us feel free to ask questions, even if it looks like trivial to geeks. We understand that your time is valuable. But we would like to request you to take some time out to sort out our issues. I understand it when you get irritated seeing a mail seeking job. But let us be happy that there are people out there looking for a job in Linux. We are growing. Let us not think that they are not upto our standards. They didnt get a chance to understand Linux earlier.
Regarding jobs: While it is heartening to see people seeking jobs in Linux, I don't think this is an appropriate place for such postings. There are literally millions of places on the internet where this information can be found. Otherwise, this list will just become like another variant of jobs.com.
IMHO, its okay _advertise_ for GNU/Linux related jobs on a list ... it is a GNU/Linux _user's_ group after all! But its a different matter when people send replies to the list instead of the original poster!
