Well being by myself the last couple of months in the process of finding a new job related to software development and/or R&D activities with the use of the OpenCV library and not seeing something similar in the forum, except some individual advertisements, I am opening this thread. Considering that this is the official forum regarding the OpenCV library and there are quite a bunch of companies and institutes out there who perform, others more and others less, research and software development based on the OpenCV library I think that it would a nice idea to have a separate thread only for that reason.
To give a more clear idea of what this thread I would like to be, I would expect companies, startups, institutes or/and even individuals users to announce, here under this thread in an post, job openings, internships, project openings which are related with the OpenCV library. More specifically in this posts I would like to see some description of the position (e.g. requirements, responsibilities, qualifications needed, contact information, location, etc...) and/or a link to a correspondent alternative from the site of the company or elsewhere. Moreover, it would nice to provide a short of description about the company and what it is about and to whom you can contact for further info or whatever. Then under this post's announcement and within the ability that the comments service gives us, a "show interest" procedure could happen where the users, of this forum and not only, that are interested could ask questions related to the position, and in general interact with the person/company that initiated the post. Then when the position is filled it could be marked as solved from the post starter or whoever is responsible for it or it could be deleted in general.
Any other ideas, feedback, opinions are more than welcome. I think that it is a nice approach since both users/job seekers and companies will have the opportunity to search/publish respectively straight forward to the source and not somewhere in the internet. I think that this would also be a good step in order to collect and group all the different companies that are related with the OpenCV library.
Furthermore, I do not know how it sounds to the mods and to the founders of this forum but I would like to hear their opinion as well. Moreover, if they think that it does not match with the library's philosophy or the forum's and community's environment here then feel free to delete the thread and report it as not related. On the other hand, if you think that this is a nice idea, then the first step it could be done from the ItSeez which are the official developers of the OpenCV library and I see in their website that they have some job openings :-p.
With the best intensions, @theodore
