thats a given - when I speak to students on FOSS I just tell them - if your code is up in some repo, you do not need to apply for a job - they will come to you. And you do not need to sit for seven rounds of interview, nor do you need to give references. The biggest problem for a recruiter is to find out if the candidate *really* wrote the code for that long list of projects in the resume. In an open source repo, that is a no-brainer. And a perusal of mailing list posts by the candidate will give all the remaining info. (which is why no one will offer me a job after seeing my posts in this LUG list ;-)) -- regards KG http://lawgon.livejournal.com _______________________________________________ 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
