Gender issues aside, I think it is perfectly OK for companies to post job opportunities on the users list. Unless, of course, someone can think of a better place to reach qualified ROS developers.

Hi Scott,
Sorry that was unintentional. We just wanted to mean that someone comfortable with workload of startup (demo day in 2 months), or someone who gets extra motivation to work in a startup environment irrespective of gender.
Thanks for pointing it out, we would be more careful.

(Besides, the ad below expresses a gender requirement: "a startup guy".)
