@igalia can people outside of the EU apply?
I have the same question.
""
It is remote-friendly. People can participate wherever they live. ""
I guess it's open to anywhere.
@sato1108ss @DrSuzanne @igalia Hello - yes!
People at Igalia work all over the globe :) (I am in the US, for example)
@bkardell @sato1108ss @igalia Wonderful. Thank you.
@igalia Can people working at other companies but not in software development apply?
@igalia this is super cool but it's worth noting that the compensation is €7,000/450h = €15.55/h = (US)$16.82/h over the course of 3-6 months. that works out to full-time over the 3 months or half-time over 6 months at a reasonable minimum wage.
still very cool, but it's important to acknowledge the fiscal limitations imposed by that.
@igalia presumably the participants will be contractors as well, which in the US means covering one's own insuance as well as the portion of FICA that's normally covered by one's employer, so there's a meaningfully higher tax burden on top of what one would normally pay at a minimum wage job.
@igalia just for my understanding, why are you writing „free software job“? I have a hard time understanding this term. Are some companies expecting that people… pay to work there? 
@nachtfunke @igalia they mean "free software" as in open-source, the kind of software that's publicly available and modifiable by anyone, like the major browser engines, for instance -- chromium, webkit, gecko
wikipedia has a page about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Free_Software_Definition
@fumnanya @nachtfunke Thank you for helping to clarify this :) 
@igalia doyou hire outside the us?
