I&#39;m not sure whether you are talking about jobs that will benefit KDE because <br>
working on KDE&#39;s offering (e.g. KDE Frameworks) is part of the job or whether <br>
you are talking about some Qt job which will not benefit KDE because the <br>
person will work on code that is orthogonal to KDE and maybe even proprietary.<br>
<br>
I&#39;m not okay with job offers for non-Free Software jobs. There are more than <br>
enough portals to look for non-Free Software C++ and Qt jobs.<br>
<br>
I think I would be okay with Free Software job offers that are &quot;KDE-adjacent&quot;. <br>
In fact, I might be interested.<br>

I think it should be restricted to jobs that benefit the Free Software <br>
ecosystem.<br>
<br>
OTOH, I think I would prefer to use a separate dedicated mailing list for <br>
this. I have mixed feelings about mixing community discussions with job <br>
advertisements. Maybe it would be okay if the job ads were clearly marked in <br>
the subject, e.g. with &quot;[Job]&quot; so that one can easily filter them out <br>
(physically or mentally). There should also be a clear policy that replies to <br>
job offers must not be send to the list and that job offers should not be <br>
commented or discussed on this list. All of this would be much easier with a <br>
separate mailing list.<br>
