[K12OSN] Job descriptions

[Petre Scheie]

Well, he'll want someone with Linux experience, obviously.  I'd look for someone who is 
actually running a Linux system, even if just one system, or just a desktop.  IOW, you 
want someone who has done more than just fired up a Knoppix disk once.  Experience with 
Perl, Python, or PHP would be a good qualification, perhaps mandatory.

Questions to ask during the interview:
-what kind of mailing lists is the candidate is on?
-what sort of experience has the candidate had in supporting FOSS software--the point is 
to screen out those who are only accustomed to calling a vendor and expecting the vendor 
to fix everything.
-what distros has the candidate worked with?  Likes and dislikes about each--to screen 
out those who are just name-droppers.

It also depends on what the principal wants the teacher to do.
