Uri mentioned he wasn't aware we had a LinkedIn group. Looks like it was January 2009 that I last posted this...I guess it hasn't been so periodic.
This is a periodic reminder that Boston.pm has a LinkedIn group. (If you're not familiar, LinkedIn is a social networking site for professionals.) Your direct LinkedIn network is supposed to consist of people that you've worked with before and can vouch for. In contrast, user group connections are like 2nd level contacts (people you know through other people). So networking via a user group broadens your network without violating that principle. To join, go to: http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/41363/6E675551A940 No one is pre-approved (which would have required uploading everyone's email address to LinkedIn), so you'll be prompted to send a note to the group manager. You can ignore that unless you don't get approved after a week. Normally I login periodically and approve any pending requests. (Note: It is group policy not to admit recruiters.) Similarly, there is a national Perl Mongers LinkedIn group you can join via: http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/40830/4971AC40763D The invite for that was posted to the Perl jobs-discuss list by the group manager, Jose' Castro, in late 2007. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
