[socal-piggies] Job listings here: +1

[Jathan McCollum]

I really don't see what's wrong with job postings being approved by our
benevolent moderator (Grig).  It's worked for the most part so far.

To channel my inner project manager: What problem are we trying to solve?

Clearly it's to avoid the list being clogged with job postings, I get that.
I'm not convinced, however, we're at the point where we need to shake things
up and branch the list to socal-piggies-nojobs and socal-piggies-jobsplz.

I have to admit, the fact that we've seen a notable increase (however small)
in Python-related job postings is actually a good thing for our community,
email preferences aside.
