Apple Job Posting and Good News for LinuxPPC developers

["Kevin B. Hendricks" <kbhend@business.wm.edu>]

Hi,

Just in case anyone missed this.  Apple is hiring someone whose job description
will include making it easier for people to get enough hardware info to get
Linux PPC to run on Apple's new hardware.

We should get one of our own into this role and get a leg up on helping apple
open up its hardware specs for Linux PPC

What do you think?

Kevin
