Hi,
We have [EMAIL PROTECTED] [1] mailing list dedicated to post job
offers by companies looking for FOSS/GIS specialists.
The list is moderated.
We've talked with Lorenzo a bit about what should the moderation
process look like. What criteria should we use to accept or not a job
posting.
So, we've decided to ask the Community.
Should we assume the list is only for job offers in GIS field
*and* related to Free and Open Source Software market?
Or, we should accept offers to GIS specialists but not related to FOSS?
I believe it's quite important to define moderation rules.
I'd suggest that the number one moderation job is to try and
make sure the job offers are "real", and not just people
fishing for talent, or 'free consulting', etc. Perhaps a
requirement of a web presence for the company making the
offer, including their own 'employment' webpage, along with
perhaps a (unpublished?) contact phone number that can be
used by the moderators.
Dave,
I think it's a good point.
Though may be moderators can just keep it in mind and
try to be sensitive for fake offers.
As far as "jobs not related to FOSS", it could be argued
that they should be there, as a way for FOSS evangelists
to 'infiltrate the other side' ;-)
:-)
One option might be to have two categories of postings,
where non-FOSS-related postings are limited to a single
paragraph and link to a more detail job posting on the
company's website, whereas job postings that include a
FOSS component (even if not Geospatially related?) can
be multiple paragraphs.
What about these two rules?

These have been reviewed by Frank on the #osgeo channel.
