Yeah, more random figures that dont mean anything:
Wordpress 122 jobs in the US http://jobsearch.monster.com/PowerSearch.aspx?q=wordpress&rad=20&rad_units=miles&tm=60&dv= Joomla: 77 Jobs in the US http://jobsearch.monster.com/PowerSearch.aspx?q=joomla&rad=20&rad_units=miles&tm=60&dv= Whoo: Drupal: 154 Jobs in the US! http://jobsearch.monster.com/PowerSearch.aspx?q=drupal&rad=20&rad_units=miles&tm=60&dv= (This was the usual 5 minute LUG research, the slide that Dries used in his keynote was much scarier with Drupal outpacing joomla & wordpress with a factor 10. If you do have Drupal skills, CapGemini is looking for 80 Drupallers on top of their current 80. There are more big firms doing the same thing. Basically, the only complaint i heard on drupalcon (besides availability of coffee) was that there was too much work and too few people with Drupal skills. Same is true here in Uganda, btw, plenty of Joomla-lets- slap-a-theme-on-that skills, havent seen 1 Drupal CV, ever. Missed opportunity for a lot of scriptkiddies outthere. Luckily there are people appearing in Nairobi and Nigeria. Hope they will set new examples.) -- rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 758 801 749 www.mountbatten.net On Thursday 02 September 2010 16:05:22 Mugarura Cavin wrote: > about two years ago, > webometrics, ranked Makerere University (MUK) poorly, > the media (New Vision, Monitor) was awash with stories how the Harvard of > Africa had sunk to a new low. > > why did webometrics, rank poorly.
