Re: [CODE4LIB] It's all job postings!
Actually, you don't even need to filter on subject line (which might filter out something like this thread). Jobs posted through jobs.code4lib.org (vs an individual) all come from j...@code4lib.org so all you have to do is filter emails from that specific email. Like most, I think it's great to have these posted to the mailing list for all the previously mentioned reasons.

Re: [CODE4LIB] It's all job postings!
As Cameron Neylon pointed out in his keynote to Open Repositories 2012 in Edinburgh a few weeks back, filtering on the supply/server side should be considered "friction" or a barrier. We need better/more dynamic demand-side filtering. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Axr80qm6NHw&feature=youtu.be&t=8m36s How's that for ya?

I would like to continue receiving job postings. As someone who is searching for full time employment, it is indeed encouraging to see all these positions coming through. I see postings on this list that do not come through on other lists or resources.

Well Ruby was written for zombies ( http://railsforzombies.com/ ). Still, for one who has been on the job search for months it is nice to have so many options, though such a wall of postings takes a while to work through. It is very helpful for us young bucks to have both the content solutions and the job postings so we can learn from you established folks and try to get our own full-time work.

Re: [CODE4LIB] It's all job postings!
The jobs posted on this list are all relevant and appropriate to the wide scope of people who read this list. We have not just seasoned programmers, but also recent college graduates and people looking for entry-level jobs in the field, as well as archivists and more. It seems like a mistake to impose additional rules and regulations on what types of jobs are allowed to be posted here...professional organizations looking to spread the word about jobs available in the field may become reticent to share some here if we give the impression that we don't want them. I agree with Kelly, and everyone else who has stated that the number of job postings does not bother me one bit. Whether or not the amount of job postings coming through here is too much or too little seems like a personal preference issue, and one that can be treated with filters on keywords, etc, in one's own email client or RSS feed reader.

You expressed exactly the frustration that led me to hack on jobs.code4lib.org in the first place. I know too many people struggling to find work, and to find work they love. As Dan Chudnov pointed out in his code4lib keynote this year, the library/archive profession is in the midst of a pretty big upheaval/transformation. So, the other goal of jobs.code4lib.org is to help document the skills and jobs that are in demand, to help educators teach their students relevant skills so that they can find jobs. I also wanted it to assist life long learners who were interested in refreshing their skillset. Ideas for improving the site are welcome in the issue trackers Github [1]. //Ed [1] https://github.com/code4lib/shortimer/issues

Most of them come from the Shortime application that Ed Summers has been working on and posted about. It's over at jobs.code4lib.org. I don't really mind them.

I made the same observation recently but decided to simply set up a filter.
