Where to Advertise for Open Source Job Openings? 82
OS Jobs asks: "The startup I work at is looking for an IT maven to design and run a large cluster (1000s) of Linux machines. We are fully plugged into the open source philosophy and would like to build this cluster using only open source tools. We have advertised at most of the regular places including Monster, various LUGs, and so forth. In response to our ads we see people with industrial experience who know every proprietary product in existence, but almost none who are steeped in open source development. So my question to the Slashdot community is: Where should open-source conscious employers advertise their open-source friendly jobs?"

A start-up with 1000s of machines?
Regardless of where you advertise (this post was a decent start, but check out the other OSTG sites; plus, Google linux jobs for lots of other sites), make sure you screen every candidate to see which one has the best current job. Before you hire that candidate, make sure you have a shot at filling that vacant position. In other words, start looking for where you're going to land when this one crashes. Also, get an ebay account so that you can dump all the Herman Miller chairs and foosball tables when that's all you have left. And party like it's 1999.

You'd have to post it as a lament though.
Man, I wish I could find some programmers as good as you guys for my positions starting at $95k with full medical and dental. It's amazing how many people turn down our 401k and stock option program, especially with the incredible opportunities for advancement.
Anyway, you make a good point about user mode autodetect with the current situation, although I still think in-kernel autodetect should be the goal.
