[Discuss] Asterisk specialist sought
A friend and former employer asked me to pass along his need for an Asterisk specialist: I'm doing other things at the moment, but if you are an experienced Asterisk man, please email him directly.

What if I'm an experienced Asterisk person who is offended by the presumption that the only people who have such experience are men? Was that his phrasing, so that I know not to work with him, or yours, so I know to view everything you post through that lens? ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

My apologies. No offense intended: it literally didn't occur to me that the tradition use of the male pronoun might be taken as offensive. I assure the readers that I don't care which bathroom they use: I care if they know Asterisk and can help my friend. Bill Horne -- E.

A hand-held FIM-92 Stinger missile launcher can be an effective tool for taking down fighter planes, but it's a bit much for swatting mosquitos.

That is sadly precisely the problem: it doesn't even occur to (some) people that implying engineers are presumed male might be perceived as exclusionary (by some other people). In an area of hiring, however, it is now required to be aware and to both be and be seen to be careful and even-handed. Jack's company could suffer harm if someone thought it was *his* wording or intention; good that you've (i think) dispelled that. Thank you for the quick disclaimer, at least. The telecom-switch tech supporting us 20 years ago was distinctly of the female variety; she was easily the best man for the job, but that was no longer an appropriate way to say it, even then. -- Bill Ricker bill.n1...@gmail.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/n1vux ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[Discuss] Please point me to the thread about open-source software project management tools
We had a discussion on the list about open-source software project management tools, but now I can't find it in the archives for some reason. Please provide a pointer to the archive thread if you remember where it is, and TIA. Also, feel free to comment on your favorite open-source software project management tool if you want. I need something relatively simple, for a small project, and some charting capability would be nice. All ideas welcome. Bill Horne -- E.
