Dear all,
upon request of the Developer working group, the PLC recently
voted [1] for another round of the bugfix accelerator program!
Experienced contributors can now apply to fix issues for the
1.4.x release series, and get paid by the project! For the first
time, we now also offer an administrator position to help with the
triaging / issue selection workload, again targeting experienced
contributors.
As a rough guideline, we expect from developers to have 5
merged MRs in inkscape/inkscape since the 1.3 release (July 23,
2023).
Please read the document attached to the vote carefully if you
plan to apply. Contractors are expected to set aside at least
10hrs per week for the program (last year’s experience has shown
that doing the contract in parallel to a full-time job is not
sustainable).
The application should contain:
- your gitlab username
- how much time per week you can allocate to the program
- specific areas of expertise (developer) / experience with
project management (adminstrative position)
- experience with contracting work
We do NOT need a full CV.
Send your application to
jobs@lists.inkscape.org
(private mailing list) or use the reply-to function on this email.
We will respond when we see it.
While we will not offer both developer and administrator
position to a single individual, feel encouraged to apply for both
positions if you think you would be a good fit for any of them.
Deadline for applications: Thursday Feb 20, 2025, 23:59 UTC
The hiring team consists of Marcin Floryan and myself. We will
announce the contractors shortly after the deadline.
Best regards,
Jonathan
