jobs mailling list: pgsql-jobs@postgresql.org ?

As PostgreSQL's popularity grows...

Is there a mailling list in postgresql.org, such as
pgsql-jobs@postgresql.org or jobs@postgresql.org , etc.,
where employers can list open PostgreSQL-related job positions
and individuals can post themselves of their availabilities
to potential employers?

I don't see such a list on:
http://www.postgresql.org/lists.html

But I do see a webpage: http://techdocs.postgresql.org/jobs.php
Though it only lists one job and doesn't display the date posted.

If there is such a jobs mailling list, would someone point it out, please?
If not, should/will one be added?

Hi,

I've sent an email to Justin@postgresql.org expressing my interest in
building jobs.postgresql.org.
I'm a Web developer and can fit this into my schedule right now.

I'll post a message once I hear some news.
There are several options available and I'll ask for user feedback
if/when I can get underway.

I think a sharp jobs.postgresql.org would be very cool.

First question:
Would people prefer a web site or an email list ?

Cheers
Rudi.

E-mail me and Robert Treat instead.  Justin is somewhere in the outback right
now.

Yes. ;->

Ideally, we would have a web site that automatically fed new postings to an
e-mail list.

Also keep in mind that we need several languages.

I'll be happy to work with you on a spec.  Join the Advocacy list, where we
can take it further?

Although an integrated website and email list would be
spectacular, an email list would be preferable, because
the posting(s) would be sent out to all who are
interested (kind of like push technology), rather than
having people needing to check the site (kind of like
pull technology) every so often.

Employers would appreciate the fact that their
announcement is going to be read within (usually)
24 hours, thus they could get a faster reaction/response.

And job seekers would appreciate the service.

And people that already have postgres-related jobs
may appreciate knowing how in-demand their jobs
are, should there be more activity on the mailling
list (website), and in case they're wondering/planning
to switch their current jobs.

I volunteer myself to manage it, though whoever is
already in charge of the mailling list may need contact
me...
