I was also thinking that since most OSHW communities tend to work in a distributed fashion, remote work opportunities should be feasible. As long as you have a fablab or hackspace in your town, you should be able to work remotely. I was thinking something along the lines of <a href="http://authenticjobs.com" target="_blank">http://authenticjobs.com</a> or <a href="https://weworkremotely.com/" target="_blank">https://weworkremotely.com/</a>, but then focussed on OSHW opportunities. </div><div><br></div><div>Or is it possible that there are not enough OSHW jobs out there at the moment to make this feasible?</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Gerrit</div></div><div class="ecxgmail_extra"><br><div class="ecxgmail_quote">On Sat, Mar 28, 2015 at 10:52 PM, Emily Dixon <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:egd.box@gmail.com" target="_blank">egd.box@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;">Good Evening!</span><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;">I am a graduating senior studying engineering at Smith College in Northampton.
