[BangPypers] Python and Employment

Hi all,

I read a lot of emails in this list and others, posting job offerings.
They all list, "years of experience" required by a candidate to be
considered for the job.

But what is the metric to measure this experience. If it indirectly means ,
"corporate experience"
( in django , etc ) does it mean that free and open source developers who
use these technologies
in their free time (and not in their day jobs) are NOT experienced ?
Even though they might have worked with those technologies for a much longer
duration than
the "experienced" ones ?

looking for comments, suggestions and constructive criticism.
