Why don't we amend our jobs posting policy to disallow them completely, but point recruiters towards the svlug jobs list. Seems like we're getting more recruiters these days and AFAIK 0% have offered to give a technical talk. And frankly, I'd reject proposals from all of the recruiters that we have seen over the last 9 months.

FYI, courtesy of some work a few years ago by the guy I shave, the SVLUG Jobs mailing list's listinfo page (http://lists.svlug.org/lists/listinfo/jobs) includes a pretty good list of hyperlinks to known technical/*ix jobs forums for the Bay Area and beyond. (Suggested additions are always welcome.)

And its quite a good resource. I linked to the page with all of the info on acceptable places to post jobs, but probably should have pointed it out to the recruiter.
and point them to sf-lug as well, please.

Unfortunately, changing the policy wouldn't greatly decrease the amount of (mostly) recruiters asking us to put up a job posting. Our policy is pretty explicit - most either don't read it, or want to try and work/wiggle around it ... so I tend to think making the policy even more stringent wouldn't be a great improvement (at least in "our" having these e-mails/requests to deal with).
I think, as long as our policy is/remains at least approximately what it is, and we don't have some other *BALUG* job posting resource for them to use, we can give them a (relatively) courteous "thanks, but no thanks" (and relatively) boilerplate response. I earlier did a wiki page to make this easier: http://www.sf-lug.com/wiki/doku.php?id=can_i_post_a_job_-_and_boilerplate_re... If folks want to (reasonably) change that boilerplate (keep in mind it's to be used as a response from BALUG) ... e.g. to mention some other relevant resources/links (e.g. SF-LUG, SVLUG, or particular points/resources therein), please feel free to do so.
We might also eventually make a bit more "polished" page to point folks to ... and could even link to it from the "talk" page (where most folks that bother to read, discover our policy regarding job postings).
Also, note the above wiki page location probably isn't "permanent", but such should remain reasonably findable (will probably eventually be somewhere under http://wiki.balug.org/ ... and fairly likely with some pointers to it from the "old" location(s) to more permanent home).
