1. IT Graduate with straight A's in pre U, good GPA, did a course with
all the
'correct' subjects in its syllabus. Maybe has a few proff. certs.
MCSE?!, CNE...
2. Non-IT Graduate, but somehow got interested and taught himself
programming. Has done a few freelance projects/websites on his own,
has a passion for programming and has a few pet projects going ever
since he's in Uni.
3. IT or non IT Grad, is an active code contributor to one or more
FOSS projects for a year or so. Is active in online discussions and
forums, and helps provide support for others. May or may not also have
done some freelance work.
It is 3 for me. If a person does not get involve and be visible, he or
she is most likely:
a. Lansee like shit. Too busy to spend time on your passion? Or you re
busy polishing your new cert? I agree with Boh, only makes them more lansee.
b. Been an active code contributor tells me in 7 seconds what he or she
is made off. Don't waste my time listening to how you really did your
high school project all on your own cos they re mostly lies. No words
apply. Just show me the code. Not through attachments. Must be googleable.
c. Not living in the real world. Today, the 'talibans' of FOSS rules.
Not mercenaries.
Count me in on yr teh tarik, and better still get MDEC involved too...
Speaking of mercenaries, i just came back from Chulalongkorn U, BKK and
actively called up by some state govt and contractors and after my
presentation, they often remarked, "What is MDec doing about your
wonderful contribution?". I often ask them to google too to find out if
MDec is interested in anything further than bloated property sales.
(I also found out that our words here are googleable. So that is nice.
'Now everyone can fly', i mean read :) )
