[ot] Job Posting for Sysadmin

Apologies if it's considered bad form to post job postings on this
list.  I seem to remember it being fine years ago but things may have
changed.

Presumably my job posting will show up on http://oclug.on.ca/jobs/
after someone approves it.  In the meantime (and for those that don't
check the jobs page):
