Sydney Linux Users Group (SLUG)

Linux Australia runs a jobs database for advertising and searching for jobs. As well as the jobs listing on the web site, you can subscribe to the mailing list that the jobs ads are sent to as they are posted.

SLUG also runs its own jobs mailing list. It's a moderated mailing list for people looking for Linux related work, and employers offering jobs that require experience with Linux or related software. If you wish to advertise a position, send an e-mail to jobs@slug.org.au and we'll approve it.

If you're an employer with a Linux- or FOSS-related job to offer, these are great places to find people with the skills you're after. They run as free services to the Linux community and allow you to post any jobs that specifically require Linux or FOSS skills. To ensure that your message is accepted, be sure to follow the directions on the sign-up page for each list.

If you apply for a job through any of these lists, please let the recipient know where you found the advertisement. Hopefully this will encourage employers and recruiters to use our jobs lists even more!

Various charity organisations in Sydney use Linux for specific purposes,
and many Sluggers volunteer their time for these causes.
If you know of any other groups that could do with some Linux expertise,
please notify the SLUG Committee
