#42the link support under JOB CATEGORIES is too broad

#43I guess the Red Hat job openings are not FOSS enough?
;-) (disclaimer: I work at Red Hat, happy to hook site maintainer up with our team to coordinate)

#44The markup syntax to post jobs is referred as "textile" (which I don't know -- is it a flavor of markdown?) and the help page for it points to http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/ which in turns redirect to the quite unrelated page http://www.booked.net/textism.html
Would you please fix the dead link? Great job board otherwise, I was about to post a job (I work at SUSE, almost everything we do is FOSS).

#45Earlier quoted context omitted.
(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.
Since you're currently maintaining the site, you might want to consider splitting "Serbia and Montenegro" into two separate countries, since they've been independent from each other for over a decade now.
> for over a decade now
That countries-list must have been a FOSS project without a maintainer..

Textile is a syntax invented for the Textpattern blogging system.

#47Fortunately the site does use FOSS software itself: https://www.fossjobs.net/about/

#48Will FOSS jobs will post job openings in India?
Hi! 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.
Thankyou, Thankyou so so much. Now i can work overtime without feeling bad about spending my time making some bad people rich.

#49It would be interesting to have an option to pay for desired new features in existing projects. You could call it "bid for code" or something: people who need a certain feature in an open-source project would commit to paying some amount of money for it. Other people interested in the same feature could also join. A bit similar to a kickstarter, but for feature requests. Developers would choose what to work on, depending on how much money is being offered.
Is there something like this out there already? This could be a feature in this site or a completely new site if someone wants to take on this idea. Github should offer this option!

That’s not an unrelated page; it describes Textile’s syntax in a column on the right and lets you try it interactively.
(No, it’s not a flavour of Markdown.)
