I think its appropriate for somebody to figure out if a potential employer is likely to fire them because of personal donations or political beliefs. Given what happened with Brendab Eich its clear some organisations are more activist and polticial than tech. The recent history of npm's founder (and those at Joyent) suggests he will discriminate if he doesn't like your politics. So why bother wasting time and effort…

Since when was "we want our employees to respect one another and not harass each other" considered "political beliefs"? Fuck off with your childish manbaby bullshit nonsense shitgarbage. Get the fuck out of our industry if that's how you're going to act. You have the emotional maturity of a walnut. You know what? Don't even bother responding. You're gonna think you're clever, but you'll actually be responding with tr…

What a ridiculous self-righteous rant.

Brendan Eich did not harass any of his colleagues yet he was forced out of his position because of his personal beliefs.

Maybe you should "get the fuck out of our industry" and focus on your fight for social justice. "People like you" are ruining the software industry.

"We care deeply about making tech a more inclusive and diverse place." If we assume that other companies listed here will abide by employment law i.e. non-discrimination in hiring, what is your selling point? That you care more than other companies do? That you engage in diversity outreach programs? Or are you sending a subtle message that white heterosexual male programmers who like watching sports need not apply? G…

"Given that the Gnome foundation ran out of money because they diverted donations to women's outreach, rather than focusing on the core mission of programming" This is, shockingly, incorrect: 1) The GNOME Foundation did not run out of money. 2) The reason for the financial issues was not that money from donations was diverted to women's outreach - instead, corporate donations that were intended specifically for OPW w…

Sorry, you're being sligtly misleading.

https://wiki.gnome.org/FoundationBoard/CurrentBudgetFAQ

"The GNOME Foundation had a temporary lack of reserves due to processing the funds for the Outreach Program for Women (OPW). Due to a very fast and generous response from the Free software community, the foundation now has over three months of operating costs, which is more than enough time for the pending invoices to be paid."

In plain English: They ran out of money because they used money which people had donated for software development to pay for the women's outreach program. Instead of waiting for the corporate downations to arrive, they prioritised the women's outreach program over everything else.

As for the GNOME charter, "The GNOME Foundation will work to further the goal of the GNOME project: to create a computing platform for use by the general public that is completely free software."

Nowhere does it say that the GNOME foundation is going into the business of diversity outreach. So why should people donating to the GNOME foundation, who expect the money to be spent on building the GNOME platform/desktop, instead see it goto an outreach program?

SwiftStack - http://swiftstack.com/jobs - San Francisco, CA (preferred, will relocate)

We're a storage company focused on solving a lot of the hard problems around deploying and managing scalable storage systems. We build a management controller [0] around the OpenStack Swift [1] storage engine, and we sell that controller to customers. Some of our customers include eBay, PAC-12, and HP [2]. Our focus is on ensuring that the OpenStack Swift storage engine is well integrated into enterprise IT infrastructure and processes. This means we spend a lot of time automating day-to-day operations tasks, providing good visualization of monitoring data, integrating with auth systems, selecting hardware, building utilization tools, and on and on.

But we also get to build against new technologies[3], actively contribute to open source[4], and partner with major companies to build cool new features into Swift[5].

Interested? Send us an email at jobs+hn@swiftstack.com. Tell us who you are, why you're interested in SwiftStack, and why we'll be interested in you. We'll get in touch with you shortly to continue the conversation.
