I saw a nice form of recruiting software developers on web.de today. On the page which appears when an error on the server occurs they have a box saying "This wouldn't happened to us with you? Show it to us, apply for a job as software developer". That sounds like the commercial version of "Send a patch".

But the photo on the page disturbs me. I have never seen a group of software developers where everybody wears a white shirt.

"Have your own free groupies
"Have your own free groupies and become a KDE hacker now!"
Uhmm.... isn't that a bit too much of chauvinistic machismo?
In any case, that statement will for sure disturb all the proprietary software developers. As well as our users. They'll think for themselves: "I have never seen a group of software developers with their own free groupies. Not even KDE-ers. They are lying with their hype."
