Hello,
I¹m a third-party recruiter for the Linux Foundation and would like to post

The Linux Foundation is a highly prestigious nonprofit consortium dedicated
to fostering the growth of Linux.

This is a dream job for a Web designer/developer with a passion for Linux,
seeking a high-profile opportunity that will make a big impact on the world
of Linux users and developers. S/he will also gain exposure to very
influential supporters and developers of the Linux platform, including Linux
creator Linus Torvalds. Additional perks are exceptional benefits and the
freedom/flexibility to work remotely, if desired. The Linux Foundation
office is located in San Francisco (Potrero Hill).

This technical, hands-on role will be responsible for managing all of the
Linux Foundation¹s Web properties. The ideal candidate brings a solid track
record for building and delivering attractive and useful Web sites (Drupal
experience is essential) and the flexibility to lead both as an individual
contributor and manager of external resources. More details follow below on
the Linux Foundation, the position and required skills.

Interested parties, please reply to lynniecollins at gmail.com with:

Founded in 2007, the Linux Foundation sponsors the work of Linux creator
Linus Torvalds and is supported by leading Linux and open source companies
and developers from around the world. The Linux Foundation promotes,
protects and  standardizes Linux by providing unified resources and services
needed for open source to successfully compete with closed platforms.

The Linux Foundation is looking for a web designer/developer to manage its
web projects. This is a dream job for a brilliant developer who cares about
Linux and wants to have a big impact on the world of Linux users and
developers. The Linux Foundation gets millions of visitors to our web
properties every year and needs a creative, responsible leader to both
develop and manage external developers. We want to take the LF web presence
to the next level of creativity and collaboration. We're evolving to become
more of a media site and need someone who can help us build sites to reach
the right audiences and communicate the
right message.

We are dedicated to providing a well architected, accessible and usable web
presence to facilitate collaboration for the members of the Linux and open
source communities. The ideal person has great technical skills but also is
creative and passionate about building attractive and useful web sites. We
want this person to take initiative and be creative. Ideally we want someone
who is extremely productive but also effective at managing outside resources
