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?"

Basically a great place to advertise the job is Slashdot! Of course, this is not really a sustainable strategy (not every OSS job offer will merit a Slashdot story)...
You should consider clicking on the "Jobs" link on the OSTG bar that is at the top of Slashdot. I suspect that many OSS-savvy Slashdot readers use that when looking for jobs, so getting the offer listed there (it appears to link to Yahoo! HotJobs) would probably be a good idea.

I might guess that most USENIX [usenix.org], SAGE [sage.org] and LOPSA [lopsa.org] members are well versed in open source tools.
