But I do think our community members interested in contract work or jobs should have a place to congregate and it should be readily known so people can post to it.
I think that idea to have job market place that will be preferred by openSUSE users and contributors is excellent. There are plenty of services out there to choose from: https://www.elance.com/?r https://www.odesk.com/ http://www.guru.com/index.aspx http://www.softwaredevelopersindia.com/ and so on. Note that I did not check any of those providers for availability of Linux developers, nor actual quality and safety of their services. It will provide place where: * openSUSE users can group, post rewards and attract developers that will fix problems that SUSE can't because of low number of requests. * Non-coders, interested in fixes, willing to pay someone to find developer and have what they want. * small businesses can hire (contract) local people to fix, or setup, installations based on openSUSE. It is not exactly FOSS with "Free" as in "free beer", but it will produce congregation of skilled people around openSUSE that will work very similar as app stores. This can be called Service Store. Note: App stores is what Linux has since first distro was created, but it took Apple marketing muscle to make that popular among users and developers. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
