But if you are going to live up to these requirement, I consider it a price the list has to pay. I want to know what does this price buy the list.Hi shachar, First of all I do not want to spam anyone, it's one of the required steps I need to do to setup the group in linkedin.
1. Consultant hunt. In that way he finds that a freelance consultent hosting a company named GNULIN has the skillset he's looking for .
What's wrong with http://www.google.com/search?q=gnulin
And this serves the general list's interests.... how?The VP then contacts the consultant and they live happily forever in a bidi heaven :).
I'm sorry. I don't doubt that some list members have a lot to gain from this. I don't even rule out the possibility that I may be one of them. I just don't think the list should be spammed, and people's emails given away, for this noble cause.
2. Member job hunt. OK so we post job offers in the list but I know that I have disliked list members posting stuff as. "hmm hey I'm looking forwork and I can debug kernel oops with perl using python while witholding scsi cable abuse..." In this form You can simply play with the settings of you're profile and label you're self with a "looking for a job offer"
And this is different than from http://haifux.org/jobs.html ... how?
Please, not more tons of text to read. This stuff is useful only if people use it. So far, the evidence doesn't suggest people do.Those are the IGLU tailored ones - beyond that there is the the normal marketing mish mash that linkedin presents that can be viewed here... www.linkedingroups.com/groupspdf/Linkedin_for_groups.pdf
I believe that everybody holding a linux oriented job could possibly benefit be it project job or business aquiantence they look ok protecting privacy.
But Linux-IL is a community resource, not a business one. I vote - drop it.
I'm very proud of being a part of IGLU. I'm not so sure about being a part of LinkedIn. I didn't particularly liked it when Gabor gave them my email address, and I find the idea that we give them email addresses in bulk appalling. Sorry, I still vote no.I'm happy and proud to be a part of IGLU all I want to do is to communicate to the world which will need my services one day - "This is IGLU it's an excellent place to find great developers, creative innovators and non existing cabals" if you know somebody that knows me and I'm _willing_ (profile attribute) to listen feel free to contact me through one of my contacts.
Hope this explains my motivation.
Lior.
