Speaking as a technical manager and someone that is heavily involved in the community, I think the best bet for the list, is an understanding of what you are looking for. Is you linked in up to date and can you link to it?
What would make it easier to help you would be: - Where are you based? - Are you willing to relocate? - What is your current skill set? - Windows/*nix, all of the above? - Any config mgmt experience? - Any relevant technologies (java platforms, id mgmt, ruby web services, asp.net <http://asp.net/>) - What do you want to develop? - Are you interested in making technical decisions and doing interesting things or are you looking to manage folks and facilitate them in doing those things? - What excites you about tech? Algorithms, complex systems, id mgmt? I think a lot of us would love to help but it is hard without a bit more info.
