I disagree, experience is not just time put in foobar company. A truly motivated person would keep learning open source on his/her own time and raise the bar of his/her knowledge. Many open source contributors have regular jobs. This is also experience and I would definitely consider such a person for job openings. In fact, I have recruited persons who exhibited a fairly good understanding of Linux even though they did not have any degree or experience. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
