[cfe-dev] [LLVMdev] [ADVERTISEMENT] open positions in Apple's Swift compiler team

[John Criswell]

Dear All,

Historically, we *have* permitted job announcements for jobs that 
require or desire expertise with LLVM or one of it's sub-projects.  To 
the best of my knowledge, we've never required that the position 
announcement state that the job will contribute directly to the LLVM 
project (or its sub-projects) or that the code created by the position 
be open source.

As an example, please see 
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2014-May/072938.html and 
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2010-August/033695.html.

Using this criteria, I believe that Ted's post is on-topic (although I 
agree that it should have stated the connection with LLVM more prominently).

If there is now an official policy that I've overlooked stating 
otherwise, please let me know.

Regards,

John Criswell
