Re: [fw-general] Linked-in?

[Thomas Weidner]

I wanted to oversimplfy it...   This is a mailing list for the Zend Framework and not for job hiring, nor for making new contract or networking. Anyone who is in need of that or wants this can google for it...   When his company is in need for PHP'lers they should announce in the right channel or page but not in this mailing list. That's what I meant.   Btw: I'm member of openBC since several years... I know what I speak when I talk about networking.     Thomas     ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin McArthur To: Thomas Weidner ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; Chris Chabot Cc: fw-general@lists.zend.com Sent: Sunday, October 01, 2006 11:48 PM Subject: Re: [fw-general] Linked-in? I think thats oversimplifying it and slightly ignorant.   Linked-in can be a useful non-email way to social network and keep up with what people are doing. When its working, it can be an excellent way to make new contacts. [I know I've personally landed several contracts that I would not have without linked-in]   As for all subscribing and registering as a profile however, linked-in supports a 'groups' feature which would be a lot more appropriate. Two groups, one for 'Zend Framework Contributors' and one for 'Zend Framework Users' might be cool for keeping up with stuff. The problem is someone needs to be delegated as the group manager/moderator.   Kevin     ----- Original Message ----- From: Thomas Weidner To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; Chris Chabot Cc: fw-general@lists.zend.com Sent: Sunday, October 01, 2006 2:21 PM Subject: Re: [fw-general] Linked-in? It's just a job hiring... They want you to do their work ;-) And when you've done their work good you will get a donut as reward ;-)   Greetings Thomas ----- Original Message ----- From: André Hoffmann To: Chris Chabot Cc: fw-general@lists.zend.com Sent: Sunday, October 01, 2006 10:12 PM Subject: Re: [fw-general] Linked-in? I just threw a glance at it and I didn't seem to find informations on the purpose of this site. What exactly would the benefits be like, if we all registered?

The company i work for is often interested in finding people with the right skillset for various projects, and were always open to buisness opportunities too, and linked-in seems a good tool for this job. Just floating an idea (shamelessly inspired by ajaxian.com's same style setup), see: http://ajaxian.com/archives/introducing-the-ajaxiancom-linkedin-community-program         -- Chris Chabot -- best regards, André Hoffmann ZF-Blog: http://andrehoffmann.wordpress.com/
