CM jobs and volunteer opportunity

I’ve been busy with work and family, but I thought I’d mention that I’ve been contacted about more than one CM position in the DC area this month.  Both look like interesting work (one from someone I’ve worked with in the past and would be happy to work with again; I don’t know the other source), so if anyone wants a job in Arlington or a block from Gallery Place Metro, comment here with contact info and I’ll send more details.  [Update: just got mail about a CM job in Linthicum, MD (near BWI)]

If I were still in between jobs, I’d be looking very seriously at an OLPC opening:  buildmaster

OLPC builds a lot of packages. They are looking to set up and maintain an infrastructure that will allow them to meet their own unique packaging needs. They need a volunteer with a strong understanding of the Fedora packaging process — one who either understands koji now, or can learn to understand it in fairly short order.

Not sure if that would be in Boston (One Laptop Per Child Foundation), DC (which has a Red hat (Fedora) office), Raleigh (the job poster’s base, another Red Hat location) or simply anywhere with an Internet connection, but it sounds like challenges and fun (though probably unpaid).
