Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Job Postings / Job Wanted

[Lorenzo Becchi]

wow, the thing is getting bigger...
I18n, is a great idea but I still feel that a set of mailing list can do 
honestly the dirty job.
I volunteer, hopefully I'll not be the only one, to moderate the first 
English mailing list.


ciao

Hi,

I would like to give my 2 cent's. OSGeo is an internationnal fundation, which 
means a lot of people from differents countries AND langages. However, all 
this website seems only speaking english, they are, may be, only here for 
example. It seems important to me to take care for I18n and localization.


Which means : link to local website which can propose job offers/resume, or an 
interface with several langages as OSGeo did for its own website.





Local chapters can both provide and consume a geoRSS feed?  Not sure how
you'd go about charging advertisers in that sort of scenario, but just a
thought.

  

Thanks,

Y



Regards,
Tim Bowden

Something like this, at least at the moment, is going to be relatively low
traffic. I search the GJC periodically for Open Source related positions
and they do show up but not that often. That says to me that partnering
with existing sites would be more efficient and would result in broader
access.

For the GJC one idea might be to update the job schema to allow posters to
flag postings that have requirements for Open Source skills. Then I could
create RSS or GeoRSS feeds for just those types of positions. There has
also been talk of setting up a contracts section were shorter term
contact positions.

Nice.. maps and RSS - great improvements since I last used it.  I'd
much rather go with something like this, since neither mailing lists
or customising our web site tools could match its function or its
history.

If there was a way to search for postings that were optionally marked
as open source or even OSGeo Projects friendly - that would meet
my needs.  Also, if we were able to ingest the RSS feed (specifically
for open source ones) - that we could possibly display the last
couple jobs in a component on the OSGeo web site.

I'd like to hear Steve Lime's opinion on the job board topic since he
runs GJC!

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] Does Open Source need a supervisory government body?

IMO:

Thanks for the comments Michael,

As I said in my post, I was being deliberately provocative with choice of 
subject heading.


Yes it is certainly possible that I've missed the intent of the author's 
comments. It is only a small portion of an excellent document. 



However, I also have a very good feel for how 'the gist' of the comments 
may be interpreted by some readers. My intent is to avoid a situation 
where well intention people may damage relationships between Government 
and FOSS.


Bruce

 
 Without having seen the sentences on either side of the one you 
 quote, I think I'd argue that the author is not wrong in his 
 statement: is not what we here call a PSC, and indeed the OSGeo 
 Foundation itself, an embodiment of some form of central authority?
 
 ..which is not to say your own arguments are wrong, obviously -- it 
 just may be that you're reading something stronger into what the 
 author actually had in mind?
