OSF ELECTRONIC FLASH

An electronic mail news flash for OSF Members from
the Open Software Foundation
August 18, 1994
You, as an OSF member, are invited to participate in a
special, ongoing program that would enable you to add
OSF expertise to your internal staff.
As you may have seen in recent industry press articles,
OSF has begun a program of changes to expand its
industry participation and update its business model.
Our efforts to expand industry participation have
already paid off, with our sponsorship having increased
considerably and further growth anticipated. Almost all
of the major open systems vendors are now OSF sponsors.
To increase our operational efficiency and enable more
concurrent technology projects, we are moving to a
project-oriented, out-sourcing business model. This is a
gradual transition in which each of our existing
technologies will transition to the new model upon
reaching its next major milestone point. The transition
will be completed by year end.
As we move to the new out-sourcing model, many talented
and highly skilled OSF engineering, operations and
administrative staff will be freed up and available for
new opportunities in the industry. Among those that will
be available are experienced technology architects and
developers; quality assurance, documentation, release
and integration engineers; marketers and writers
with expertise in the DCE technology.
To facilitate their ability to identify and move on to
new positions, OSF has been hosting a series of
Outplacement Job Fairs at the OSF headquarters in
Cambridge. As a member of OSF, we are inviting you to
participate in the next Job Fair on Thursday, September
22, 1994. This is an *excellent* opportunity for you to
take advantage of this pool of available talent and
expertise to augment your existing staff.
The Job Fair should be viewed as analogous to a
traditional college recruiting effort with delayed
availability, since the majority of our affected
employees are committed to completing current projects.
Projects are scheduled for completion in the September,
and December time frames. As a condition of accepting
our invitation to participate, we must ask that you
respect our commitment to completing these projects.
Each employee is already aware of his/her availability
date, and will work with you on that basis.
Since we are hosting a series of Job Fair events, we
will use the following guidelines:
1. All sponsors and members of OSF are invited to
participate in the event.
2. Interested participants should respond to
etchings@osf.org. Please include an e-mail address to
which employees may forward resumes prior to the
event.
3. Organizations may post their positions prior to the
Job Fair. Please e-mail your job posting to
etchings@osf.org.
If you have any questions regarding the format or
require additional support, please feel free to contact
Phil Sheerin at 617-621-8788, or FAX to 617-621-8781, or
e-mail to sheerin@osf.org.
We greatly appreciate your support, and encourage your
participation in this unique and exciting Job Fairs
program.
