I will welcome it being raised there.
However I should be clear, i'm talking about Linux-specific Job 
Advertisements, with a minimum of commercial focus. The wider issue of 
advertising is of course, most definately a slippery slope and i'm the 
last to encourage it.[1]

I encourage those interested, to subscribe to wlug_org and be involved in 
any discussion.
