Hello,
Ah, yes, we discussed needing to split it. My concern was that it would meant that anyone on the GTK expert committee would be unable apply for the Inkscape Expert position. I think that the conversation with Pono said that wasn't the case. Which is good. Since that isn't a problem I think it would make sense to keep them together. While I don't think it would happen, if we believe that they should be connected, putting them in different votes would have the possibility of one passing and one not. Which would be bad.

Hi Ted,
You suggested yesterday to split the proposal into two parts. I've followed the suggestion. That's part one, and I'd like to get started with the job posting soon since it'll take some time for applications to come in and interviews to happen. That's why a vote should happen soon. For the internal partner: I expect the selection process to be much faster (we've essentially already conducted that). So there's no hurry here, and they could still start roughly at the same time.

Hello Janathan,
Thanks for the work on the proposal. I thought we'd talked a bit about how the Inkscape expert was going to be chosen as well, it seems like the document you've attached only talks about the selection process for the GTK expert would be selected. I think that we probably need a process for both of those. Ted On Mar 15 2023, at 6:31 pm, Jonathan Neuhauser jonathan.neuhauser@outlook.com (mailto:jonathan.neuhauser@outlook.com) wrote:
Dear PLC members,
in the recent developer meetings, the dev team has formulated a plan to get the GTK4 migration done.
This migration is essential for Inkscape, central to our infrastructure, needs to be done quickly (to reduce blockage of other work) and soon. For this reason, we propose hiring an external contractor, a senior developer with expert knowledge on GTK, for a duration of 4 months.
I've attached the proposal for that, feedback is welcome. We're planning to start the vote soon, probably on Friday, since a lot of the discussions have already happened at the hackfest.
