Well, I am not a stickler about this point but I do want to encourage
Linux or other FS/OSS based jobs as opposed to those related only with
closed source tools.  PLUG is a LINUX group, after all.  The purpose of
PLUG is to  advocate, help and expand the use of Linux and other FS/OSS
software.  Helping people find jobs for purely closed enviornments does
not fit PLUG's purpose, IMO.

Platform-neutral stuff is always welcome as it it can run on FS/OSS and
many projects based on such technologies are FS/OSS too.

Yes, this is another avenue.

From a pratical standpoint, many people, including myself, use closed
tools in closed environments every day.  The FS/OSS economic base is not
yet large enough to support large scale employment within it.  That is
changing, though.  And I like to see PLUG help it along.

Disclaimer:  Again, all the above is my opinion, not an official PLUG
statement of policy.  Discussion of these issues once in a while is a good
thing.  I certainly welcome the different points of veiw.
