Guus, are we talking about a new kind of hoodie or the same one as ~4 years ago?
-
Guus
Syndance, as you are in the summit: it are the ones that Alex and Link Mauve wearing yesterday (and maybe today - but the video of the summit currently is very low quality). Someone today is wearing something bright orange. I can't make out who it is, or for certain if it is the same sweater - but I assume that that's the orange variant.
-
Syndace
I am wearing the orange one :D
-
Syndace
Okay thanks
-
Guus
lol
-
Zash
I wonder where my orange one is hiding. Probably in plain sight but it's so visible it becomes invisible.
-
Guus
If that color does not stand out where-ever you're storing your clothing, then you might qualify as a honorary Dutch citizen.
-
Tobi
Zash , yeah. I've got the same issue. I'm sure I have one somewhere, but since a couple of years ago it went into hiding.
-
Guus
Well, you _can_ restock today...

Guus: So the service providers have been removed from the .work site?
-
Guus
yes. Executive decision by new management.
-
Guus
(it was painful to migrate, was diluting the purpose of the site, and caused me to debate what does and does not qualify)
-
emus
But I understood it should be a place to expose professionals and companies
-
emus
too

I am interested in having a job board. I think that currently adds most value to the community (if we manage to get it populated with job listings). I don't see the need for a generic marketplace where people can find listings of companies that do "something XMPP". It's to vague. If you're looking for a service provider, then you'll very likely look with the specific technology or project that you're using. That's where listings like this one fills a need: https://www.igniterealtime.org/support/service_providers.jsp
-
Guus
My primary motivation is to get more people a job that pays them to work on XMPP.
-
emus
Ok, but I still believe, exposing service providers and devs supports attention do we still have the list of the subscribers back then?
-
Guus
There were no subscribers. And there was no attention. I was on the list, it didn't give me any leads, that I could tell. Also, it didn't cause anyone to add content to the site.
-
Guus
I don't have the list of service providers anymore (they may still live on the old site, if JC didn't tear that down yet). It was mostly the usual suspects.

Guus: habit 😅

Kev
Oh, right, it was your first wasn't it. If you're less exhausted at the end of it than I am, good going :)
-
emus
Haha, I think I am, but I didn't joined most discussion, I assume way less than you :-)
-
emus
and others

Guus
I've spent some time adding more jobs to xmpp.work - kind of hoping that it can serve as a conversation piece "see, XMPP is very hot&happening" at FOSDEM this weekend hint hint nudge nudge
-
MattJ
Thanks Guus!
-
Zash
Good Guus
-
Guus
Kind of surprised by the amount of DoD-style jobs that I find, all over the world.
-
pep.
DoD?
-
Guus
Department of Defense
-
singpolyma
Civilian branch of the military, yes?
-
Guus
although I don't specifically mean the US DoD.
-
Guus
a significant amount of the jobs that I find this week require you to have some kind of security clearance. Found stuff in Australia, the Netherlands, France ...
-
Guus
If anyone has 15 minutes to spare: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/ and search for 'xmpp' in your locality. If you find a nice job, try to find the job listing on the website of the company that's offering it, and copy/paste that into https://xmpp.work - it's dead simple, but I could use the help, as it's labor intensive.
-
emus
Im happy to toot it, please remind me if I dont
-
Guus
emus: maybe include a call-for-action in the toot: add your jobs here please.
-
emus
ok!
