Hello Patrik, Thanks a million for beating me to it. You brought a highly important topic to the discussion ;)

I beat you to it by doing this: http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1411/meeting/22335/howto-to-use-your-skills-and-experience-to-find-a-job/ Join this session - date and time not yet confirmed as my time is +11 GMT now and I need to find a good time for me to host the session - or if you can't join in real time, you can refer to the YouTube Channel. There is a valid reason why I proposed this session and it is approved. It is just the time that will be confirmed and the exact date. > > would it be possible to make this official for those who contribute so > they can publish their contribution in their CV and boost their chances of > landing a job and in case a future employer would want to dig up more info > to vouch for them? > > If you take a look at my Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad I tried to list all my contributions for the last 4 years. Yet, I still can't really list everything. This is just 75% from what I did or maybe less. Point is, you do need a Wiki Page and you do need a Linkedin Account and an updated CV. You don't need any kind of permission to have a Wiki Page or add that to your CV. If you ask me, NO QUESTION YOU MUST ADD that to your CV :D > This could bring in many new volunteers as well as startle the motivation > of existing contributors granted they could include the Ubuntu GNOME > project into their CV and have it legitimized. > I guess if my session at the UOS will be successful, this should bring lots of volunteers to not only Ubuntu GNOME but many other projects as well. > > Personally I think it's rather interesting to have it as part of one's > resume because when an employer contacts the Ubuntu GNOME board of > directors it would be backed up properly, helping out an individual to land > a position. > While we are a community project and we have no company or whatsoever, if anyone who is part of Ubuntu GNOME and he/she has visible and well-know contributions, I am MORE than happy to vouch for them. You can find my contacts on my Wiki Page and you guys have my emails. If this vouch will be helpful, I will not be late. > > Then people would perhaps spend even more time on the project because they > would boost their own chances for a successful future career. > I 100% agree. > > A win-win for everyone. > I highly second that. > -- > > > *Patrik Bubák **Linked* <http://dk.linkedin.com/in/inokisakaeru/>*IN* > <http://dk.linkedin.com/in/inokisakaeru/> | *Portfolio* > <https://www.behance.net/Inoki> > > This e-mail was sent to you from *Linux*, find out why > <https://prism-break.org/>. > > -- > Ubuntu-GNOME mailing list > [email protected] > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome > > Many thanks! -- Best Regards, Ali/amjjawad <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad> *Remember: *"All of us are smarter than any one of us."
