Hey Pat and gents, I suspect I may have triggered this with my (held?) post. I think you will find there are an increasing number of opportunities to found startups in Australia as more incubators/ accelerators come on line, and that groups like this are I think the natural place for them. Isn't that good news? If nothing else, biz devs/ UX designers/ etc who are not technology- wed are an opportunity to increase the number of Ruby champions. I think, that unlike some of the previous posts that didn't even do the group the service of explaining their experience, market etc., I had adhered to the posting rules to the fullest extent relevant. It's horses for courses really, some people want to just get paid, others want to take ownership of something and venture on a startup, as long as the relevant context of the "job" is there. I'm sure you'll get some noise but I'm also sure the group subscribers will be able to filter the crap pretty easily. Cheers, David.
