Job ads in CLUG.

[Grant Delaney]

Afternoon All

I have found it very helpful having job adverts in the mailing list. I
have personally replied to a couple. I would say if there were more
than a couple a month, it would warrant a clug-jobs@ mail list. I know
the job posting are a bit vague but a short mail explaining the
position vs posting the entire job description, I would rather have
the short one for a quick glance to see if I am interested.

A fellow clug member (or soon to be) saving us the hassle of having to
wade through all the job sites for a local linux position, I would say
let them post here, within reason of course.

Regards
Grant
