Though this thread has gotten a bit long and bitter, I felt I should
chime in.
First off, I have applied for jobs at Logic Supply and have experienced
very responsive communication each time. While it turned out my skill
set wasn't what they were looking for at the time, I got as much
feedback and communication as anyone could expect from a hiring team.
Secondarily I have purchased equipment from them and don't mind the fact
that they don't have a "showroom". Logic Supply is not just a computer
hardware store. They are in the business of providing complete solutions
for embedded, energy efficient computing in niche markets, sometimes
paired with custom software development/deployment. While I am tempted
to compare them with smalldog (yes, I remember visiting them to pick up
purchases when they were just a warehouse and offices), the fact is that
their business model seems to be quite different (plus they don't have
all the hip adverts where people dance with their Artigo).
On the Third Note, Forest clearly outlined the contributions both he and
others in his workplace have made to FOSS projects, we should be
grateful for that and frankly they set the bar quite high. I certainly
haven't contributed that much ( not that I won't in the future ).
I sincerely hope that people can learn to talk directly to organizations
if they have a legitimate problem with them or their hiring process, and
not spout venomous rants that clog all of our inboxes.
TTFN
