Free Software Foundation Hiring
Have a doctorate? Hate web design, razors, soap and capitalism? Able to get by in Boston on $53,849 a year? You may be in luck. The Free Software Foundation is hiring a Campaigns Manager! According to the FSF's own site, "The campaigns manager implements the FSF communications strategy and works as part of a team to develop and implement issue campaigns and community resources, acting as a spokesperson on matters of software freedom. The campaigns manager handles writing, editing, speaking, and research related to these activist and program efforts; coordinates the GNU chief webmaster and the other webmaster volunteers to develop FSF and GNU web sites; plans and implements proposals to increase fundraising; and serves as a main point of contact between the Foundation and the free software community."
Ok, ok.. so you don't actually have to hate soap. Candidates with significant dislike will also be considered.

I don't understand. Do you want to denigrate the people who work for the FSF, and Stallman (even if you disagree with his appearance), or are you actually trying to encourage people to apply? Maybe turning down the snark would help you write with more clarity.

Paging! Mr. Brentano's sense of humor! Mr. Brentano's sense of humor to the white courtesy phone!
If you want to apply, I provided the link. Otherwise, the point of this was just to poke fun. So far, you're the only one who has taken issue with it.
Frankly, I'd love nothing more than someone with design sense and a personality to step up and take this job. Have you seen some of the eyesores that are FSF run websites and campaigns?

I disagree on several points. Especially on the Web design bit they have a nic clean looking website. Whats wrong with it?
