.Net was recently open sourced, along with the compilers. MS also has put real effort into making it cross platfrom with great results.
As a C# & JavaScript developer, I'm floored with this. It's such a huge shift from the past. Yes, it's wonderful.
Thanks.
Besides this, IRC, Twitter, GitHub, and LinkedIn are your friends. If you can't find a company that peaks your interest, start your own project. Pay the nominal fee to register a DBA (if in the US) and work the project through that company. In this manner you can write off losses in your taxes, and it lends more credibility to the project.
The companies that are looking for shakers want to see you shaking long before you walk in the door. Build the small version of your dream, then sell the idea to anyone who listens.
