Free Software Foundation Is Hiring
This is on the website of the Free Software Foundation:
The Campaigns Manager implements the FSF communications strategy and works as part of a team to develop and implement issue campaigns and community resources, acting as a spokesperson on matters of software freedom. The Campaigns Manager handles writing, editing, speaking, and research related to these activist and program efforts; coordinates the GNU Chief Webmaster and the other webmaster volunteers to develop FSF and GNU web sites; plans and implements proposals to increase fundraising; and serves as a main point of contact between the Foundation and the free software community.
It goes on to say:
* You must be a free software activist with a commitment to computer user freedom.

Hrm. . . Think references from Cory Doctorow and Eric Raymond are worth anything for this sort of job?
