IBM to Hire Firefox Developers

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the pays-to-know dept.

ta bu shi da yu writes "According to news.com, IBM has placed an employment ad for a developer who would be responsible for 'enhancing the Mozilla Firefox Web browser with new features complimentary to IBM's On Demand middleware stack.' IBM might possibly be interested in FireFox integration with their Workplace software. The job is not for just anyone, however, as those who wish to apply for the job should have some cred with the Mozilla development community."

  1. I guess you guys were right all along by slashdot.org · · Score: 0, Troll

    I guess you guys were right all along; there is money to be made by developing Open Source software. There's an entire job available out there!

    Seriously though, that was intended as a joke, not flamebait, but the fact that this is front-page slashdot news means ... well ... not much actually (Oops, there I go again, this is NOT flamebait about Slashdot's, hmmm, interesting choice in news selection, but I seriously digress) Nope, what it means is that it apparently is still fairly exceptional to be paid to work on an Open Source project like this.

    But you know, I'm sure y'all will be able to correct me very swiftly.
