I don't know the answer in general, but certainly mentioning the community project I was involved in (Tardis: http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/) was what got me my first job when I graduated. Last time I looked at my CV, I think it mentioned that I package a few bits and pieces for Debian and that I've contributed to a few projects (most notably inn, I guess). I've no idea if anybody pays attention to that bit though. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wossname.org.uk/~mathie/ _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
