How long has it been around and how available are they?

I'm sure there are coders out there who would be interested in working on that type of project but they'd need access to the suits or ample footage of it in use.

If you've got one, you should definitely start to put together some open source example footage of it.

But most of all, and I know this is the toughest part, I think you just have to keep telling yourself that you *are* a great candidate.

Make sure you're aware of your strengths and don't worry about whether or not you have some real experience to back that up.

If you're confident that you can learn new technology quickly or that you can work in a particular environment then don't be afraid to communicate that.

* Brief description on the nature of the work and/or workflow.
* Brief summary of the work environment; how did you interact with and work within the project/company as a whole?
* Skills that you honed, utilized, and learned in the position. It's hard for this not to come off as dry, but it's worth including since it gives the interviewer something to bring up in the interview.

I think that the GNOME and contract work are actually pretty great focuses on your resume.

The best thing that you can do is fill in some context surrounding those key jobs. Details that I like to see (you don't have to fit all of these, but these are some ideas):

The latest XKCD really hits on the reason I dislike the shift towards extreme dependency usage.

Well, I learned the OSI model after having learned several realworld protocol stacks and I found that the way that OSI doesn't really add a lot of value.

A brief example of OSI might be appropriate before jumping into some real examples but the rote memorization of a conceptual model seems to be something a lot of students struggle with.

Are people really so attached to the OSI Model that even suggesting alternative teaching models is offensive?

Any OSI evangelists on the #fediverse who can shed some light on why OSI is better than any alternative way of teaching protocol layers?

It really would be awesome if the #OpenWeb community was able to put together an open index.

At @defcon@twitter.com hacking conference and just learned how easy it is to physically gain admin access on a voting machine that is used in 18 states. Requires no tools and takes under 2 minutes. I’m concerned for our upcoming elections.
