Show HN: Fossfox – paid opportunities for open-source devs

235 pointsby 4kimovalmost 2 years ago
The index lists either companies that work on open-source products or those that heavily contribute to open-source. Either way, ideal for devs that want to keep an eye out for opportunities.<p>Engineering teams can post for free. Open directory of available positions is here [0].<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fossfox-com&#x2F;fossfox">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fossfox-com&#x2F;fossfox</a>

I am not sure how this made it to the front page or how you justify the click-bait.<p>- These are not paid opportunities for Open Source work. This a job board. The title makes you think that there are gigs to work on some open source projects and get paid for it.<p>- There are no guarantees that these &quot;open source friendly&quot; companies will hire you to work on Open Source. Working on Open Source projects is the exception, not the rule. Unless the company has gone the full OS model, which is just a few startups. And still, sometimes these companies have other kind of work (customization for a certain client) at which point you are not involved in the OS work at all.

What makes Netflix for instance eligible? Is the job specifically geared towards OS, or just Netflix known for releasing some of their stuff as OS and hence are allowed?<p>Any thoughts about location? No idea what here is relevant for where I live.

This just looks like a job board for tech companies that also have open source projects, which is most big tech companies and lots of startups

Can&#x27;t read nearly anything unless I force my focus on a specific area.<p>Can you enlarge the fonts please? My vision is not so good.<p>Hint: Editing font-size to 18px (for &lt;div class=&quot;sc-4dp71k-0 hIhENr app-app-wrapper&quot;&gt;) via web dev tools (Firefox) produces an incredible output for me.

Nice initiative! Hope the list grows.<p>It would be nice if you had a fast filter for remote-only postings.<p>Also, your mailing list software drops the part after a `+`, this breaks filtering rules. I&#x27;d also like your base to store my address in a form I provided.

The site looks good. On a side-note, it’s really great to see that more and more Comercial OSS and other open-source projects become viable businesses. I think this is one of the best way to actually make open-source sustainable.

I don&#x27;t like that the table doesn&#x27;t stretch out fully and clicking on the &quot;...&quot; doesn&#x27;t bring me somewhere that shows them all
