OSDN has endeavored to serve, support and promote the Open Source
community to the greatest extent possible. Whether that has meant
rigorously maintaining the editorial integrity of Slashdot, building out and
supporting the massive infrastructure of SourceForge, or providing our
readership with products that they can call their own through Thinkgeek,
OSDN has tried to remain faithful to the things that matter the most to
the Open Source community.
OSDN receives many helpful suggestions and
requests on how to improve our network. One frequent suggestion has
been to provide a fully functional jobs page focused on Open Source.
OSDN is pleased to announce jobs.osdn.com; a new job board launched in
partnership with DevelopersNetwork that is uniquely Open Source.
Many people have noticed that jobs.osdn.com is being served on a
Windows 2000/IIS platform. At OSDN, we were aware that our users might have
some reservations about that technology decision. However, there is
much more involved in making a job board succeed than the technology it
runs on. Despite their technology preferences, the people at
DevelopersNetwork are much more committed to Open Source than any other job board
we could find. They are willing to commit marketing dollars to Open
Source; they are willing to teach their salespeople about Open Source;
and they are making sure that jobs.osdn.com has the highest quality of
Open Source tech jobs anywhere on the Internet. In fact,
DevelopersNetwork is so committed to Open Source (and to good technology decisions)
that they are considering re-engineering their code so that jobs.osdn.com
will run on a Linux/Apache server by the end of the year.
Please come check jobs.osdn.com out. Submit your resume, search for a
job, work on the technology you love.
