[TriLUG] hiring Open-Source Software Services Engineer on "my" team

[Douglas A. Whitfield via TriLUG]

This bad-boy is listed as Minneapolis and I'm sure HQ would love to have
someone there, but...my boss is in Ohio. His boss is about at that Florida
Georgia Line. His boss is in the UK. His boss is a her, but yeah, a lot of
dudes on my team.

In any case, I got into a bit of a spat with my boss' boss about the
location of this listing so I'm not going to say anything else about it and
let you talk to the hiring manager. If you have any questions that aren't
related to the location, feel free to fire them at me.
