Re: Supporting GTK+

[Philip Van Hoof <pvanhoof gnome org>]

Hey Wouter, Brian,

Perhaps is the best solution to open a gnome-jobs mailing list?

I agree that indeed the foundation's mailinglist is not the right one
for Brian's jobvertising.

However, certain people and subcontract companies might be interested in
this kind of opportunities. Making this more easy for both suppliers and
customers can only be positive for GNOME as a software platform and
organization in my opinion.

If people seek a mailing-list maintainer for this, I volunteer. I'm not
saying I'm the best choice for this, though (I can imagine a certain
degree of objectivity is necessary here).
