Hi Brendan,
As a matter of fact we have been considering an event focused on
business but never implemented due to lack of funding. Your company
looks a great case study and could be used as an example to follow for
other Cypriot based companies.
If you want to sponsor a linux event focuses on business I am 100% in! I
can contact other companies that use or support Linux and organize
something that will attract non linux companies too.
Best Regards
Theo

Greetings CYLUG,
Hope everyone is well and in good health.
I have been on this list for eons and I think this is the only time
that I am actually requesting for assistance, and perhaps also be of
assistance to the LOCO LUG.
We (Hotforex.com) are looking for seasoned Sysadmins/DevOps to fill in
our ranks in our Network Operations Center and Systems
Development/Operations.
The problem at the moment that I am facing is the fact that every
candidate we encounter are either too fresh off the boat (University
and/or otherwise...), or does not have the right
acumen/characteristics to handle the load that needs to be done. A Hit
or Miss to say the least.
Have a look at https://www.hotforex.com/en/about-us/careers.html and
don't forget to mention that you came from CYLUG so I can personally
vouch for you to be accelerated in the short list.
Moreover, we would like to host/sponsor any future CYLUG event that
the LOCO might arrange. Do let me know who would be the contact person
to organize such a cooperation with.
Just an insight: We pride ourselves as a medium-size company working
in the financial-sector, with over 150 employees -- all of which uses
Ubuntu on the workstation. We would like to share this insight with
the LOCO on topics such as Deployment Procedures/Automation, hurdles
on Wind0ze User Harmonization to a Linux Desktop Environment, and
overcoming fears of using FOSS in the Enterprise, etc...
Any pointers to whom to address the above would be much appreciated.
Good luck to those applying for our openings. Any questions, feel free
to reply to this thread.
Have a good Weekend!
Kind Regards,
Brendan Jocson
