Hi, Amy! We're glad to hear from you, and I'm responding on behalf of the moderator team. BALUG's policy on that matter is shown on the list information page, http://lists.balug.org/listinfo.cgi/balug-talk-balug.org :
Linux jobs postings are welcome from companies intending to give a technical presentation at an upcoming BALUG meeting. If we see a job-offer posting from you, we expect to see a talk proposal [link] around the same time. (Companies not prepared to speak may want to post elsewhere, such as SVLUG Jobs [link] or BayLISA Jobs [link].)
If you can get the ball moving towards arranging a technical talk at one of BALUG's monthly meetings (Chinatown, San Francisco) from a Google representative, your jobs postings will be most welcome on balug-talk: You can just post them directly to balug-talk@lists.balug.org, and we'll approve them right away.
We had to make that rule because, although BALUG provides an interested and sometimes sizeable audience in a pleasant environment, there has been a shortage of speakers, lately.
Best Regards, Rick M.
