Raul has said the same on Manulife, and is certainly worthy of any bones people can throw his way. He's done so much for the lug.<span class=""><br>

[insert shameless self-promotion here] ... If you guys are looking for<br>
regular work in I.T., we have a decent referral program here at OpenText<br>
(where I work). Look up the jobs listing on our website<br>
<a href="http://www.opentext.com/who-we-are/careers" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.opentext.com/who-we<wbr>-are/careers</a>, then if you see your dream<br>
job listed let me know and I can refer you in. So you get a foot in the<br>
door and I might get a buck or two, depending on the position. The jobs<br>
listing has its good days and its bad days, so check back often.<br>
<br>
I really like it here at OpenText. It's a good company that takes good<br>
care of its people, from what I've seen so far. It's not true FOSS<br>
compared to the rest of this conversation, but it's still a good place<br>
to work.<br>
<br>
If I don't know you personally just let me know who in this group can<br>
vouch for you and we'll go from there.<br>

I think most local startups use FOSS stacks for the most part. It's<br>
probably already been posted in the past but Communitech has a local<br>
tech jobs board (or at least they did) and, of course, there is<br>
Indeed. Also, not a terrible idea to show up to HackerNest meetups<br></span>
(on <a href="http://meetup.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">meetup.com</a> <<a href="http://meetup.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://meetup.com</a>>) and do some pressing of the flesh.<br>

Interesting link. I saw countries in the lower left, clicked<br>
Cameroon, then changed Cameroon to Canada in the resulting URL.<br>
<br>
Didn't get a page not found, so I guess it to be a valid URL,<br>
just empty at the moment.<br>

They do not seem to have a Canada or KW specific listings,<br>
but they do<br>
have a Worldwide section which seems to be remote stuff.<br>
<br>
The site seems to keep around old postings, so it could be<br>
useful for<br>
finding interesting companies even if they do not have a<br>
current posting.<br>
