> 
> tl;dr: People want a way to connect people developing around OpenWrt 
> with companies using OpenWrt. A "job offer" mailing list or a list of 
> job seeking developers could be created, or nothing. A vote was 
> requested during the last OpenWrt core developer meeting due to 
> different opinions.
> 
> Vote: Should OpenWrt offer a way to connect developers and companies?
> 
> * [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.
> 
> * [c]: No, there are sufficient other possibilities to find OpenWrt 
> related jobs and "this can of worms should not be opened"[1].
> 
> * [d]: Neutral
> 
> Please vote now. If you don't care please respond with neutral so I 
> don't ping you over the next weeks.
> 
> The vote is open for three weeks, March 20, 2021.
> 
> If either [a] or [b] receives a majority of votes, we will evaluate with 
> the SF any legal concerns, this could still cause a hard no for a job 
> board.
> 
> As discussed in #openwrt-adm I could initially moderate either mailing 
> list or developer list but also leave this happily to any other core 
> developer.
