[fwlug] Where are all the Organizations that use Open Source?

[Bishop Brown]

I have it on good authority that Sweetwater's website is on LAMP (form their web developer that is riding in the car with me). And they are hiring web developers.

EXTENSION INC uses a lot of FOSS and an amazing place to work for.
TrustBearer Labs is FOSS savvy and has a very talented team that was
good to work with. Not sure if either is hiring, but both are worth
looking into.

I recall hearing that Sweetwater's website was LAMP, but don't quote
me on that. There was a post on FW Geek Dinner about them hiring
within the last month or so.
