Fossjobs: A website for free and open-source software jobs

A lot of the jobs on fossjobs.net are remote work. In fact, you can directly see the job's location on the job listing. It's definitely worthwhile reaching out to the project to ask.

And of course we would list openings in India, as we would list foss jobs in any place. If you hear of any, please let us know! The easiest way to do that is to cc @fossjobs_net on Twitter.

Congrats, there seem to be interesting offerings and employers on fossjobs.net. What are the criteria to be listed on fossjobs.net? Right now, I'm also seeing some admin/devops jobs that are only related to F/OSS insofar as eg. Linux is being used, but won't contribute to anything distributable under F/OSS licenses.

I'm assuming it's for jobs at FOSS shops, not necessarily shops which publish all their stuff with free software licenses. The latter sounds too niche although I'd love to see a board like that exist.

That could just be a tag in fossjobs. No need for a whole site.

(Hi! This is Moritz, who currently maintains the fossjobs site)

It's hard to define clear criteria.

We do want to avoid jobs where people just "use" FOSS. The focus is definitely paid positions where you /contribute/ to FOSS in some way. Besides obvious developer positions, that might be administrative or sysop jobs at FOSS projects/orgs or other non-profit environments, more than sysop jobs at random web startups.
