Ideal candidate will have experience with HPC, ML, and NVidia hardware. Requirement is strong Linux sysadmin skills preferrably including experience with cloud services and servers with integrated management (preferrably iDRAC) and everything else is optional. The company is currently improving their position regarding ISO-27001 etc so experience with that sort of thing will be positive. The aim of the position is to support ML people so they can concentrate on their core work and then improve the environment to scale better etc. They want someone with my skills and will pay them decently. They haven't had success in finding such a person so will be prepared to accept someone with less skills at a rate that's still OK.

Meeting will be at http://b.coker.com.au. No need to register just click on the link on the day. Meeting will cover many aspects of PC/Laptop hardware. How systems work, how to get them cheaply, how to fix/upgrade them, etc. Meeting officially opens at 1PM Melbourne time (03:00UTC) on Saturday 3rd Sep, but prior to that we have a 1 hour planning meeting which starts at 02:00UTC. Everyone is welcome to the planning meeting, if you have ideas on how to make Flounder better then please share them! Also starting with this event we will add a new rule for debating. For any contentious issue that you want to advocate you must write a blog post about it. No spending hours discussing things that we won't get an agreement on, have the people who advocate various positions blog it publicly and the world can learn from them. Anything that's not worth writing a blog post about isn't worth spending much time arguing about. If someone has political opinions that they don't want to share with the whole world then there's many ways of doing so that don't involve Flounder. If we were to do anything about countries such as Russia suppressing free speech then we could do so by having a meeting about running Tor servers etc. Not by having political debates at the meeting. https://planet.luv.asn.au/ Here's the URL for Planet Linux Australia, if you start a blog then let me know and I'll add it to that feed. It's not strictly Linux, any blog that has a large portion of posts about free software is acceptable. https://www.dreamwidth.org/ Dreamwidth is a free blog hosting platform that is well regarded, there are many others. We can have a meeting about running your own Wordpress site in future if there's interest. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ From ycp at gnu.org Tue Aug 30 10:27:29 2022 From: ycp at gnu.org (Yuchen Pei) Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2022 10:27:29 +1000 Subject: [Flounder] Sep 3rd Flounder Meeting PC Hardware In-Reply-To: <3360015.usfYGdeWWP@liv> (Russell Coker via luv-main's message of "Tue, 30 Aug 2022 01:47:26 +1000") References: <3360015.usfYGdeWWP@liv> Message-ID: <87y1v6pocu.fsf@gnu.org> On Tue 2022-08-30 01:47:26 +1000, Russell Coker via luv-main wrote: > > https://planet.luv.asn.au/ > > Here's the URL for Planet Linux Australia, if you start a blog then let me > know and I'll add it to that feed.

Micro-blogging doesn't work for longer discussions, the 1/37 tweet method isn't effective. The aim is to get the long off-topic discussions away from Flounder venues not the short off-topic discussions. But we should all get Mastodon accounts. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
