It's pretty demoralizing to never get any responses from anyone but @lnxw48a1, but I am nothing if not persistent.
I realize I could interact more and gain more followers and I could post more. Maybe I'll give Mastodon a shot a see if I get more interaction there. I don't think I've joined an instance but maybe I have.
Anyway...
My team is looking!
Requirements (I mean, that's what HR calls them, but not really...):
Expert level in a number of open source packages.
Broad and deep familiarity with multiple projects to include #Java and #J2EE, #JBoss, #ActiveMQ, #Drools, #HornetQ, #Hibernate, #Spring, #Linux (focus primary on #CentOS or #Ubuntu), #Apache #HTTPD, Apache #Tomcat, #MySQL, #PostgreSql, #Opensource project and community participation and Production/24x7 experience.
Database administration; #postgresql/ #mysql/ #mariadb experience very desirable
Expertise in #Cassandra, #Kafka, and/or #cloudnative applications is a plus.
Minimum of five years of software development and design or systems administration or level 3-4 technical support experience.
Technical knowledge, skills and expertise in complex infrastructure, web-based software and enterprise software
Understanding of software best practices; #SDLC, #SCM and #Agile development principles.
Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills
Role: Open Source Staff Engineer/Solutions Architect
Location: #Louisville, #CO or #Minneapolis, #MN

Perforce is seeking a Open Source Staff Engineer/Solutions Architect to join our OpenLogic team. As a member of the support team, you’ll be responsible for assisting our clients to work through their technical questions on open source including ‘how to’, trouble shooting and recommendations on product use. Additionally, based on needs of our customers, you will be involved in presenting training classes (both onsite and remote depending on need of the client); short-term professional service engagements to assist with architect and design solutions; working on internal projects; and enhancing current skills by continuing to learn new open source technologies.
OpenLogic provides enterprise services for hundreds of open source projects — including #OpenJDK, #Kubernetes, CentOS, and #MariaDB — so you can boost efficiency and savings with free software, while cutting risk.
Responsibilities:
Interact with end users on technical problems.
Tier 1, 2 and 3 support for CentOS and related open source products.
Drive resolution of those problems, which include:
Open source software issues.
Questions around open source software usage.
Questions around use and best practices.
Review of the architecture and design where software is implemented.
Conduct professional services and training engagements.
Research, understand, and advocate open source software.
Interact with various open source communities.
Drive early resolution of issues.
Be a part of the on-call rotation.
Present knowledge via articles, blogs, and conference presentations.
May require 15% travel while completing on-site consulting. -

Much like the private company, I greatly suspect it depends on what agency/branch and what position in said agency/branch.
I never had a conversation with Judy, though I was in her office for support once, but my impression is the reason for not getting acquired was to keep the value of "Do Good, Make Money". Of course, her interpretation of "Do Good"
They added the Make Money at some point because apparently someone (devs, sales, not sure...) was giving away the software. I am so happy to be working in #opensource now, even if it's only a little sliver of Perforce. -

We are moving our #opensource stuff to GitHub. I get that GitHub is not a shining beacon of freedom, but it's better for getting contributions than our Helix Swarm instance, which is only tied to the proprietary p4d !VCS system. -

I'm not sure what the hold-up is on the public listing. I suppose this will be my last post on the matter until it's actually up.
My team in Minneapolis !minnesota is hiring. There is nothing public yet, but if you're looking, hit me up.
A bunch of our stuff is #opensource (BSD two-clause for just about everything...maybe everything), and all of it has free trials, so https://www.perforce.com/downloads and https://swarm.workshop.perforce.com/
We support products on Windows, Mac, and #Linux. Occasionally, you might see some old Solaris or BSD servers (or some other random stuff), but that really doesn't happen much.
We support #git and #Jenkins integrations, as well as #maven and a bunch of other stuff I don't ever touch, but people on my team do.
Apache knowledge would be useful, but not required. My colleague who started the same day I did doesn't really do any scripting. He's pretty much a pure server performance guy. That said, we support APIs for #ruby, #python, #js, #groovy, #perl, #java, #c++ and #php. Also, #C knowledge would be useful
Basically, if you have any cross-platform experience at all, and are technical, you'd be a good fit. -

I have been told a public listing might go up as early as today.
I have also been told that once-a-day announcements are not annoying. Let me know if you feel that's too frequent and I can back off!

At #FOSSASIA Duane O'Brien reminds us that more than half of #opensource lives in places other than GitHub.
Think twice before you rely on proprietary platforms for your #FLOSS work. And before you judge people based on GitHub profiles.

So the Open Source Initiative election is coming up very soon:
https://opensource.org/elections
I'm happy to see such a richly diverse set of candidates this election. #OpenSource is about freedom *for all*, so let's work together to make sure we aren't left with an all-white male board from only the US and EU.
The entire world needs strong community stewardship of Open Source more now than ever, and we are stronger when we stand together.
