FreeBSD at Cisco

[Royce Williams]

I'm not a Cisco employee, but this Slashdot thread today:

... made me curious about FreeBSD at Cisco.  There were a number of
jobs that seemed to be primarily FreeBSD-oriented, including jobs
relating to ports/package maintenance, kernel development and server
management.  Here's an example job posting:

Cisco's Open Platform Software Technology Center is looking to a
maintainer for the userland packages of our internal FreeBSD distribution.

The next generation of Cisco's products will be powered by Open Source
operating systems and will be built from Open Source components. Our
team will build the core technology used in a wide variety of Cisco
products.

The ideal candidate has strong C programming skills, and is an
active contributor to the FreeBSD or other open source community.
Experience building and maintaining Linux or FreeBSD distributions is
a plus. Experience with network protocols and network devices is
also a plus.

Could be some good opportunities for FreeBSD folks.
