I've been starting to use LinkedIn. I've seen great potential in it for career networking.

Admittedly I saw the "Groups" available and my first instinct was "oh... is this going to be another Facebook with a little Launchpad in it?" I quickly realized that this isn't the case at all. It turns out that the groups are what drives the networking process and the applications available are just to add to your profile.

Since there was no group for Ubuntu Members, I created one. This will be for Official Ubuntu Members only. If you are a member and have your @ubuntu.com email address setup as your LinkedIn account, you can sign up without being approved. Otherwise you will have to meet with me on IRC to verify your status.

If you are an Ubuntu member and are using or are curious about using LinkedIn, take a trip over to the team and see if perhaps you would be interested in joining.
