<div>Pete, </div>
<div>With all due respect, this is a job opening that I am actively working on, and can help a qualified candidate in landing this role for a highly coveted employer. </div>
<div>If the group is only limited to hearing about *BSD Unix related opportunities, then I will be limited in my abilities to help. </div>
<div>However, there are folks that have already reached out to me from this group that take joy, and professionally focus on activities in working on challenges outside of a *BSD Unix. </div>
<div>Further, one may stand to benefit tremendously to reap the rewards from this opportunity while addressing technical challenges in scaling, performance, throughput, and more- it's a scope that's transferrable, in my humble opinion, and can leverage expertise developed by working on an Advanced Operating System (FreeBSD) and its peripheral components that many folks that contribute to it are innately equiped with. I guess it's for those that have a platform agnostic and open attitude and are more so driven by technical challenges- no matter what the environments are coined. </div>
<div>BTW, Am I really that off?</div>
<div>
<blockquote>
<p>Linux is a Unix clone written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX compliance.</p></blockquote></div>
<div>Anyhow, I am only exposing this role to the group for a client that I have a successful track record of doing business with, and can lend an additional peek behind the scenes to prepare someone that's interested and well qualified for. </div>
<div>If you are not interested in taking this on, I totally understand. </div>
<div>Thank you for your suggestion, by the way- perhaps, I am barking up the wrong tree... </div>
<div>However, looking at the archives, I would hope that this group is open to hearing about the wealth of opportunities that I'm working on in order to gain exposure to what's hot now in the market. From folks I have spoken with, I feel as though there's a much wider talent pool than you give this group credit for, Pete.</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
<div>Chintan <br></div>
