Funny... that's the first thing I expect people to do, and the first thing I'll do after an initial vetting of a CV if I'm hiring. If I'm hiring someone who lists free software development experience on their CV, I'll go hunting on Google at least, maybe ohloh after. There's a difference between initial screening (How many years experience? What skills? Sufficient education?) and a technical screening where I'll look for quality rather than quantity. > I can of course write up my contributions myself but it would be sorf > of like having some workplace on your cv without including a letter of > recommendation. Oo-er - is that not normal? :} I don't collect recommendation letters from former bosses... although I've started requestion recommendations on LinkedIn from old colleagues. > All that I can say is that in my world this is something I would like > to be able to include in a job application. That's all :) If you're looking for a job where your free software experience is relevant, I would not only list it, I would put it front & center.
