[linuxjobs] Looking to hire Linux enthusiasts

[Tyler J. Wagner]

Hi all,

We're looking to fill two positions at our company based in London. One is
entry-level Linux support, the other is systems admin / development for
someone with a few years' experience. Please apply if you're interested, or
forward to your friends.

What will impress us most: Free Software / Open Source / Linux enthusiasts
who have done cool stuff. Degrees and certifications are not important, as
long as you can show us you have the skills. I do the first interview (more
of an interactive testing, really) myself.

Please see attached.

Regards,
Tyler

the government has a lot more power than the people. So privacy for
the government increases their power and increases the power imbalance
between government and the people; it decreases liberty. Forced openness
in government – open government laws, Freedom of Information Act
filings, the recording of police officers and other government officials,
WikiLeaks – reduces the power imbalance between government and the
people, and increases liberty."
