Yeah.. I hate those... even just looking through newspapers or trying to
find something in newsgroups (stuff I haven't done in... quite some time).
No actual jobs to offer, just trying to get people on their lists incase
something comes up so they can take a cut....

Fine w/ me.  

How 'bout I put up a page of links to pages about job openings ?  Like, I
could add a link from the main page that says "Linux related job openings
in the Philly area", then on that page, put a link to a page about it on
Ars Digita's site ?  Hugh ?

Linux users groups are an excellent way to network for jobs.  It is
actually how I got my current job.  Which is why I want to put up
everybody's resume on the plug page, but I've only gotten links from 5
people.  And there was even somebody in plug willing to host people's
resumes if necessary.

First linux job site ?  Yeah right.  Being unique on the web isn't quite
that easy... google.com search for linux jobs:

jobs.linuxtoday.com
www.linux.org.au/jobs/ 
linux.superexpert.com/jobs/
www.unix-developers.net/linux.html 

..those were on the 1st page of hits.

But yeah, it's a good idea.

And who here wants to deal with the mess of handling the money ?  We'd
probably have to incorporate or something.  Ugh.


Overall I agree with you.
