Can anyone bring batteries from GNOME Asia to US?

2008-10-16 Thread Richard M. Stallman
I'm getting a 100%-free-software laptop from China, but with Chinese
security paranoia they can't ship the batteries.

Is there anyone who will be at GNOME Asia this weekend, and then go to
the US, who would like to carry two or three batteries for the
machine?  You could ship them to the FSF (at our expense) on arrival
in the US.  Please write to me if you would like to do this.

This list reaches only a fraction of GNOME developers, so if you know
anyone else from the US who is going to GNOME Asia, please forward the
message to him.

1) Postings on a wiki can be removed, keeping a list of current openings at
any time,

2) Keep it simple.  This took me ten minutes to set up.  A mailing list would
have taken at least a few days,

3) Subscribing and unsubscribing to the wiki is much easier and more intuitive,

Cheers,

Nor is a mailing list. Something we can pull with an RSS feed is
probably more appropriate.
At list the wiki page does not require to subscribe to it to read it.

Many GNOME hackers look for jobs and they crawl blogs, mailing lists,

Now there is a central place that community members can post GNOME- 
related
job openings, and job seekers can subscribe to. Nothing fancy, a  
good old

wiki page:

Any reason you didn't just set up a gnome-jobs mailing list?  There  
are many things that wikis aren't particularly good for, and this  
strikes me as being one of them.

Hopefully :)
I would more interested by jobs which would qualify for both than by
jobs whih are about GNOME technologies but not for Free Software, but
some people probably don't mind.

However, I think that some links on this wiki page to other places
were we can find some GTK/GNOME jobs could be nice, in addition to the
actual jobs.
