Fw: [ILUG] [ OT ] Linux admin wanted ......

[McAuley, Tim]

I'm fairly new to the list and as yet haven't got around to checking out
social at linux.ie but what about have a seperate list jobs at linux.ie. That way
empoyers can send a mail to that list and people can either subscribe to the
list if they're looking for a job or keep an eye on the archives. 

There's little or no management effort involved setting it up and running it
and it might give an idea for what demand there is for such a service. Later
on, someone might feel like setting up a proper web-site/service to handle
the demand. It'll also keep job emails off the main list incase this is
beginning to bug people (though personally I don't mind them).

Just a thought,

Tim
