The problem we had in the past was that James flooded the list with the same ads over and over. At the same time he was posting the exact same things to multiple other LUG lists. It just began to annoy people and I'm trying to head that off again. Unfortunately we can't rely on recruitment consultants like James to be good actors with this sort of thing.

Re: [Hampshire] JOB | Permanent Linux Systems Administrator (Singapore)
I'm pleased that people advertise available jobs on this list. It gives confidence that Linux is a significant part of modern business. I would however ask that it is done only where appropriate, and not done too often. Please do not "chase" LUG members about job offers, members are free to accept, decline or ignore an offer if they wish, and I ask that everyone respects that freedom.

A web based solution can be remotely edited and deployed. Git is very popular for static page deployments as you get version control thrown in for free. Take a look at some javascript carousels. There are plenty of weather and information widgets and REST API's that can be used, even the MET Office has a public API. The problem with using images is rendering quality, it only takes one JPEG to spoil a presentation. But if you do go the image route, use PNG's. Putting data into images is tedious manual job and difficult to automate. Putting data into a web page format can be automated easily from the start.

And I shall continue to network with and employ professionals using public resources. Especially when said resources are related to software developed and driven by people and communities, but also companies. It's not like this list is bustling with activity, but my email filters are sufficient enough for other mailing lists. If you really want to go the route of "what-list-does-what", then good luck with that sunshine, I guess you should get your proposal together for hlug-hardware, hlug-offtopic, hlug-design-software, hlug-office-software etc, and nobody will subscribe to any of them. There are bigger, faster moving communities than ours, don't be so hasty to divide and categorise when there isn't yet enough content. I have no intention of subscribing to Linux jobs, neither to I intend to advertise there. I am going where the talent is. For anyone interested in the job, it sounds fascinating! There are a ton of developers working in Singapore, mostly in finance but also for Autodesk among others. Could well be for a company that contributes to Open Source Software. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --
