Re: Concord, New Hampshire software jobs

[Bayard Coolidge USG ZKO3-3/S20]

I lost the message that flamed Larry Cook for posting the job openings
at Sybase in Concord, so I don't remember who sent it. Just as well...

I have apologized to Larry offline and attempted to explain the situation.

IMNSHO, we need to work with other *IX interests in the state. There is
considerable synergy between us, as witnessed by the participation of
several major UNIX vendors on this list and in the group activities.
Many of the job skills that Larry is apparently looking for are virtually
interchangeable with those intrinsic in Linux. Just because his particular
company's product isn't ported to Linux yet doesn't mean that they
might not be convinced to do so in the future. I believe that Oracle's
behaviour is a clear example of this, and one of our own members, Rich
Soule, is now an Oracle rep out on the West Coast after having gone to
Oracle after graduating from UNH - his involvement with Linux was a
big part of that.

No, we don't want the list inundated with job reqs by the dozens,
particularly from out of state headhunters spamming us. But, Larry is
representing a LOCAL office of a major company that is looking for
talent. We need all the friends we can get, and the only customers
you can count are the ones who actually buy from you - you don't know
the ones you lost out on because of turn-offs like this. It's a small
world - I was amazed at how many DEC alumni that I actually know, who
showed up at Maddog's birthday party, and I had to reflect that over
the years, I've crossed paths with a lot of interesting people who
have gone on to careers in a wide variety of other companies.

We've come a long way with GNHLUG, but we have a ways to go. Flaming
friends is not the Linux way - it's what they do in Redmond, not here.
