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
