[kwlug-disc] Here is another FOSS job posting board

[Andrew Sullivan Cant]

Does OpenText use any FOSS software? I'm guessing that answer is yes, if
only because it is pretty hard not to.

Do they do any contributions back?


I have started collecting people and companies that work on FOSS:

http://andrewsullivancant.ca/wiki/waterloo_free_software_portal/

though that is definitely still a work in progress, and does not include
much yet. My dream goal would be to turn this into an aggregator of
contributions, to make it easy to see who is contributing in the Region.
With the meta-goal of making it feel more normal for companies to make
those contributions, like all of their friends.

(P.S.: If anyone want to contribute information about companies and are
using or contributing to FOSS let me know and I'lll add it to the list.)
