Your tactics are indicative of a new era for Open Source in the commercial world. Whilst earning a living as an Open Source professional we do still share the space with non-profit communities; the bread and butter of Open Source. The jobs you are advertising not strictly Open Source support or development roles. To post non Open Source jobs worth 60K upwards, in the middle of a global financial crisis, to an Open Source community seems like rather a waste of time. Are you sure you have thought through your target market properly? Does your business manager know you are wasting your time targeting inappropriate markets? Do your clients know about you activities? You seem overly keen to post to LUG groups yet you must realise you are off the mark some? To pay your mortgage you really do need to stay focused...
