Let me introduce you to: Linux Lancers!

Heya,

it does not happen very often that I blog about advertisements for companies. This one is an exception. I'm feeling good about it, since this company I'm blogging about could actually prove useful to the KDE/FOSS community.

The company I'd like to introduce to you is Linux Lancers. Let me sum up in a nutshell what they offer:

1) For the job seeker: A place to find freelance and permanent FOSS jobs (and free advice).

2) For the company: A place to find competent FOSS programmers.

Freelancing is an attractive job opportunity for many contributors in the Software Libre scene. Myself I have done several freelance jobs, and nowadays I am glad that opportunities are emerging that bring us Free Software experts closer to the companies seeking our knowledge.

Disclaimer:

I do not have any financial interests in this company. I'm posting this purely because I believe that the company offers a service that could be useful for our community, plus I'm friends with the company owner and I enjoy seeing his baby succeed.

I'd like to register as a freelancer for the UK, but the sign-up page is still in German

Is this a very new startup? I'd like to know more, and I'll go back in a few days when it's hopefully more complete

Hello Paul,

sorry for the inconvenience, we're still working on the relaunch. Linux Lancers was founded in 2002, but it became active in 2006. The English version should be available by January 2009. You can direct your cv and and your questions to my email address: lchaplin (at) linux-lancers.com - I'd be more than happy to answer them to you.

Greetings,

Lukas Chaplin
Linux Lancers
