Okay. It looks like
1. A list is acceptable, but must be entirely moderated.
opensolaris-jobs seems the least surprising/offensive.
2. There need to be some published guidelines about posted positions.
For instance, postings should refer primarily to OpenSolaris
development positions, and only secondarily to a specific
distribution.
3. The moderators should not all be from a single organization or
business.
I didn't quite understand Glynn's request that the posting "directly
benefit opensolaris.org". Elaboration would help.
Questions:
- Can jobs be related to all kinds of OpenSolaris-related work, or
just those that would involve contributions? (Is a sysadmin
position requiring familiarity with an OpenSolaris distribution
okay?)
- Can I get a mix of volunteer moderators that will "group moderate"
postings, please? (I can't tell if Sean would want to moderate a
list whose existence could make him go crazy. :) )
I'd take any other input on possible guidelines.
- Stephen
