We are hiring contractors to work on and the Desktop :linux:

Do you have experience working on Linux desktop technologies? Get in touch with your resume or portfolio stf@gnome.org ✉️

Some areas we are interested in hiring for:

• Flatpak
• Linux desktop accessibility
• Freedesktop / XDG services and components
• Desktop security
• GNOME services and components

@XOrgFoundation @kde @gnome

Boosts welcome!

@sonny @XOrgFoundation @kde @gnome What's the plan?
Making desktop linux better or worse?

@soc @sonny @XOrgFoundation @kde @gnome Obviously worse. Otherwise, we all have to search for a new hobby soon…

@FineFindus @sonny @XOrgFoundation @kde @gnome Makes sense.
Putting everyone involved in these projects on permanent gardening leave would be a huge improvement over status quo.

@soc why do you think it's called GNOME?

@sonny @XOrgFoundation @kde @gnome I don't suppose you want to bring someone in to work on chat? 😅

@sonny @XOrgFoundation @kde @gnome the end user should not notice if the package a flatpak or deb/rpm. But maybe offer 2 buttons in the installer showing version and disk space used.

I emailed a job application yesterday and didn't get any reply. It would be nice if there was an acknowledgement of my email.

An automated reply can let the applicants know that their email has entered the system.

@MazharHussain everybody will get a reply this afternoon.

@sonny @MazharHussain I applied, but didn’t get an answer yet. Could you please check?

@sonny @XOrgFoundation @kde @gnome Sounds great 😀 What is the scope/duration of the work? How is payment?

@v02460 monthly payments. For scope/duration we have flexibility, it depends on the people and projects.

We will discuss these with candidates who qualify.
