Really?

I respectfully disagree.  This is a list for mobiles in development and social change, is it not? There are, presumably, experienced people on this list.  This is a non-profit/social change position and organization focused on mobile security.  It was my understanding that this is a community of people interested in the topic to things like jobs, grant announcements, and events seem perfectly appropriate.  I selectively choose the lists to advertise our jobs to (we have another one open for a project manager for the same project focused on mobile security in human rights) and believe me, I do not think I am 'spamming' you.

I think maybe the list moderators need to chime in here.

Regards,

Katrin
