The open-source job shortage
,----[ Quote ]
| I spent some time today with the IT team of a large enterprise. There has
| been talk of an open-source job boom, but what I heard today suggested a
| relative dearth of critical open-source talent.

Open Source Software Developer Careers
,----[ Quote ]
| How we develop open source software can vary widely from project to project.
| However, the roles we play are similar across projects: user, developer,
| tester, documenter, committer, etc. For a while now, I have been interested
| in what open source means for software developer careers, in particular with
| respect to fame and fortune.

Thinking about career in Linux? Part 1

| Considering a lot of tools which need to be cited for this cause, we’ll

| Here you go;
|
| Apache ServerApache: The world’s most widely used web-server, known for it’s
| open source architecture. It is often termed as Apache HyperText Transfer
| Protocol (HTTP) server program. Apache is one of the primal requirements to
| build a good CMS or likewise, in an Open Source industry. If not much, you
| need to learn the basics. Most Linux related jobs would ask you to have a
| hands-on over the apache administration.

Open Source as An Easy Answer for Better Developer Visibility (and Career
Opportunity)
,----[ Quote ]
| As a participant in an open source project, everything is in your control.
| You pick the project that you think is the most valuable, or in which you can
| develop the skills you need but can't justify on your résumé. In the universe
| of open source, you're judged only by what you contribute. Corporate politics
| aren't an issue. If your code is useful, or your technical documentation is
| appreciated, or you're just a welcoming voice on the community IRC channel,
| you have a good chance of being invited to become a committer.

| markets, generating revenue of $60 million, the report says.

Aussie coders not in open source for the money
,----[ Quote ]
| Despite frequent speculation that corporate financing is dangerous to the
| ethos of the open source software (OSS) community, most Australian open
| source developers don't see payment as a primary influence on their
| contributions, a straw poll of attendees at Linux.conf.au in Melbourne
| suggests.
|
| [..]
|
| While much research by psychologists suggests that people who are offered a
| reward to do something won't readily do it voluntarily, Peters suggested this
| had to be placed in context. "It depends on whether payment is normal. It's
| very normal to get paid to do software development. It doesn't change your
| internal way of thinking."
