[postgis-users] PostGIS Jobs - UK, Worldwide

[lexner at gmail.com]

Tomas,

I do not oppose OGC, quite the contrary I started GIS from PostGIS and 
qgis, finding them very nice, stable and feature rich. I just didn't 
find any public job offerings that would require these skills. I'm sure 
that I must be wrong because the stable and developing community along 
with many enthusiasts all have to be based on some R&D, scientific and 
commercial projects worldwide. That's why I asked in this mailing list 
about your opinions - how and where to get GIS jobs with OGC skills.

Regards,
Alex
