OK, this is probably off-topic if there's an explicit jobs list for
Ottawa and vicinity but, after I make the move from K-W, I'll be
looking for Linux-related work.
*Specifically*, if there's any to be found, I'm interested in
continuing to do training. I've been a professional, corporate Linux
and OSS-related trainer for close to 20 years (having taught for folks
like Red Hat, Sun, HP, Nexient, Global Knowledge and others). I've
taught their courseware, as well as quite a lot of my own for select
clients. That would include intro and admin Linux, as well as basic
kernel programming, and some languages as well (C, C++, Perl), so I
cover a fairly wide area. And these days, I've been immersed in
embedded Linux as well.
So, to make a long story short, if you or anyone you know is looking
for professional-level training for *way* less than you'd pay one of
the major vendors, drop me a note. And if the organizers accept my
offer to give a presentation next week, you can come by and see what
you think of my presentation skills. :-)
Again, I hope this wasn't wildly off-topic or inappropriate for this
list.

P.S. One more point I'd like to emphasize. I called my little
company "Crash Course" because that's the sort of thing I'd like to
concentrate on -- short, intense training sessions for people who
don't have piles of time or a massive budget.
Most major training vendors advertise courses that typically run
from 3 to 5 days because, for them, that's a reasonable business
model. I, on the other hand, like to think there's a market for 1-day
sessions on whatever particular topic a client is interested in.
We'll see how well that works in Ottawa. :-)
