The Linux Association of Canada went live with a national open-source jobs database this week. The Saskatoon-based group’s site now carries nearly 400 active job postings, ranging from software engineering to documentation.
The launch follows a data-verification program the association introduced last week. That program applies to entries in the group’s open-source library and community directory. Every listing must pass a review to confirm its legitimacy and make sure the information is current.
The library itself has grown quickly. On June 2, it held 25 entries. As of this week, that number has passed 300.
Andre Duttmann, the association’s director, started the organization this spring with a goal of strengthening Canada’s access to digital sovereign, open-source software. “By providing a dedicated home for Canadian open source projects and knowledge, we aim to foster collaboration, support innovation, and ensure that valuable resources remain accessible to everyone,” the association said in a statement at its founding.
