I don't see any problem with this. After all, you're just asking for |
| 13 |
talented developers to think about a certain position in a company - nothing |
| 14 |
wrong with that. |

There is some concern amongst some developers about Gentoo's "position" as |
| 17 |
an independent distribution, but I'm sure that this is overrated: what good |
| 18 |
would our distribution be if a company offering support for Gentoo wouldn't |
| 19 |
hire Gentoo developers :) |

|

Of course, there is some speculation about Gentoo's fame when we would start |
| 22 |
creating a list of "available" developers, but that's another discussion |
| 23 |
that's already held on -dev (or was it -core, can't remember). |
