ubuntu-ca Digest, Vol 35, Issue 2

[JohnD]

Hi,

A recruiter just sent me an email for a job opening as a Field Application
Engineer (North America) in which Ubuntu experience would be an asset. It is
in Lexington, MA and says it is for "Hands-on and independent engineer to be
responsible for interaction with North American OEMs bringing new Mobile
Internet Devices and other small form factor laptops to market".

If anyone is interested email me and I'll forward the email to you. It is of
no use to me as I'm a mechanical designer.
