[TriLUG] Linux developer / interoperability engineer wanted

[David Wysochanski]

Anyone on the list with a good Linux background looking for work in
the RTP area?

My department is hiring one other person so I'm looking for the right
person to work with.  This is not a pure coding job but requires a
lot of beta/unit testing, submitting a patch here and there, and
a lot of interaction with other teams.  You don't have to be a
kernel hacker but some kernel experience is preferred.  Below is
the description.

Please contact me off list if this sounds interesting and you think
there might be a good fit.

Thanks for your consideration.
