administrators for the Google.com group. The Google.com teams are directly
responsible for Google's stellar uptime record, and act as the guardians and

will be responsible for ensuring that Google users can always reach and use
all of the services under your team's care.

the functionality, operating, and failure modes of key networking devices
(routers, switches, bridges, firewalls, hardware load balancers); be able to
identify networking as the potential cause of a service issue using
server-resident tools to generate this data (tcpdump, ping, traceroute,
etc.); familiarity in interpreting the output of these tools; familiarity

common network security exploits -- and their remedies; understanding of
troubleshooting at the packet level.

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.
