I recently took over Crossnodes after a few years with LinuxToday, and I'd like to provide writing opportunities to skilled Linux (or Unix) networkers who have experience in: * migration to Linux/Unix from other NOS's * integration of Linux/Unix into Netware and Windows networks * Linux/Unix security * general network management The site is still very much in transition and I'm willing to try a lot of formats out, but I have particular interest in product reviews/analysis (either proprietary or open source/free software) and writing that relates to solving particular problems or issues. I'm also very interested in hearing from people who are proficient technically but not as confident in their writing skills: I'm trying to bring a sense to the site that IT professionals are communicating to each other, with the editorial staff present to facilitate. To that end, I am willing to work closely with new or inexperienced writers provided they're willing to accept some guidance and the occasional rewrite. Some basic qualifications: * Experience in multiple platforms and a willingness to make fair comparisons to other platforms where appropriate * Willingness to work with an editor * Willingness to honor deadlines, which we'll always establish to suit your needs Pay: We don't have a set rate for stories, but articles generally earn $250-$300. That will be negotiated on a per-item basis: more in-depth or lengthy work earns more. Additional Information: I'm also looking for writers with skill sets in other areas of networking. If you're strong in Netware or even MS OS's, I'm happy to hear from you as well. This is a straightforward freelance arrangement, not a job, though editors enjoy building relationships with consistent writers. Anyone who's interested can reach me at the address below or call my office (503.236.4889) to set a time to discuss things further. I'll have an editorial guidelines sheet ready by early next week as well. Kind regards, -- Michael Hall 503.233.8956 (home) 503.236.4889 (office) From signe_767 at yahoo.com Sat Apr 6 17:44:24 2002 From: signe_767 at yahoo.com (Amy Todd) Date: Sat, 6 Apr 2002 09:44:24 -0800 (PST) Subject: [PLUG-JOBS] System Admin job Message-ID: <20020406174424.83204.qmail@web13608.mail.yahoo.com> I saw this advertised on Craiglist--in the category, of all places, "Admin/Office".
