For those interested in getting a job working with Open Source software, I'd also recommend reading the recently published interview with Todd Cranston-Cuebas (Senior Tech Recruiter at Ticketmaster/Citysearch) entitled "How To Get Hired As An Open-Source Developer". It contains some insightful tips on what clueful recruiters are looking for in candidates for Open Source positions along with some nice suggestions regarding what to include (or not include) in your resume.

Disclaimer: I'm in the process of being hired by Citysearch, so I might be biased ;)

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
