Shamp is where people who care about the same things find each other. Ask questions, share opportunities, start projects, and help the person who is one step behind you.

No opportunity here should ever charge you to apply, and nobody should ask you to send them money personally. If we charge for something of our own, it is on a page with our name on it. Anything else is a scam - report it.
