<br><font size=2><tt>Folks,<br>
<br>
The OSGeo Service Provider Directory was implemented in response to<br>
frequent questions I have received from folks trying to find a consultant<br>
or integrator they could contact for implementing foss4g solutions.<br>
<br>
Today (and certainly not for the first time) I received an email from<br>
someone trying to find potential employees with skills in a variety of<br>
OSGeo projects. My question is whether there is something we can
do to<br>
address this need - and the corresponding need for folks who would like<br>
to find potential jobs that would take advantage of their foss4g<br>
knowledge and interest.<br>
<br>
Would it be acceptable to have job postings on this list? Should
we<br>
try and setup a job postings / job wanted mailing list? Would it
be<br>
likely to get enough subscribers and postings to make this worth while?<br>
<br>
I think of this as closely related to the recent issue about announcing<br>
foss4g related products and services. There are folks who want to
know<br>
and folks who need to get their message out. But how do we put them<br>
together in a way that is likely to get a critical mass?<br>
<br>
Basically - it helps our goal of foss4g uptake to ensure that folks can<br>
make these commercial / employment contacts.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
