[vote RESULTS] OpenWrt Job Board

[Paul Spooren]

Hi all,

sorry for the delay in summing things up, luckily it didn't require much 
counting to estimate the outcome!

The majority voted option `C` which is against an involvement in a job 
board for OpenWrt, nobody voted in favor.

For the record, the result is stored here: 
https://openwrt.org/voting/2021-02-28

@Adrian: Again, sorry for the specific reasoning in option C, next time 
I'll take it more serious.

Best,
Paul

>> * [a]: Yes, a moderated mailing list should be created where job seeking developers (and everyone else) can subscribe and companies post job offerings. All further contact happens between developer and company. The OpenWrt project does not endorse anyone on the list and does not handle any part of the communication after posting the offer.

>> * [b]: Yes, a moderated list of job seeking developers should be created on openwrt.org allowing developers with a TBD qualification, e.g. 20 commits to openwrt.git, to shortly describe themselves plus a contact address. The OpenWrt project does not endorse anyone on the list beyond the TBD base qualification to be on the list. The OpenWrt project is at no point part of the conversation or contract.
