The newly created group has launched two new initiatives aimed at building out Canada’s open-source ecosystem. The first, a data-verification program for the association’s open-source library and community group listings was launched last week, while the rollout of a national jobs database went live today. As of launch, the database listed nearly 400 active job postings.

They also made an account on our Pixelfed instance. If you have an account on Pixelfed/Mastodon or similar platforms, you can follow them on there: https://pixelfed.ca/linuxassociation.ca

Hmm, I feel like the concept of a Canadian linux association isn't bad, but it kinda seems like this is just a couple of people's LLM fueled ideas... though I guess that doesn't prevent it from gaining traction.

Wish you could filter the job board by slop usage

The Linux Association of Canada is entirely AI slop already, it's sort of impossible to avoid it if you use that site anyway.
