The GNOME Foundation Is Hiring (gnome.org)

"The GNOME Foundation is pleased to be able to offer paid employment to exceptional people who have the drive to help us complete our mission," reads a new announcement. Gnome.org explains: Today, July 6th 2018, the GNOME Foundation has announced a number of positions it is recruiting for to help drive the GNOME project and Free Software on the desktop.

As previously announced, this has been made possible thanks to a generous grant that the Foundation has received, enabling us to accelerate this expansion. "These positions are key to ensuring that the Foundation remains sustainable and that we are able to support the community in key areas," said Neil McGovern, Executive Director of the GNOME Foundation.
The Foundation is currently recruiting for four posts:

• Development Coordinator. This will ensure that we receive sufficient funds to continue our work delivering free software.
• Program Coordinator. The Program Coordinator will free up time from those involved in organizational, administrative and logistical problems.
• Devops/Sysadmin. The systems and services we run need proper maintenance and care. As Flathub [An app store and build service for Linux] continues to grow, more support is needed to achieve this.
• GTK+ core developer. GTK+ is core to our entire platform. Investing in development and maintenance of this toolkit will benefit the whole GNU/Linux ecosystem.

"The Foundation is keen to hear from any person who is interested in applying for one of these posts."

complete?

Is the mission ever actually "complete"? Besides, sometimes it seems the mission is just to change things constantly in a way that irritates as many users as possible.

Gnome is a special case, where we know in the foreseeable future that its GUI will consist of a single big button labeled NO .

Yeah, I just had a phone interview where it became quickly apparent their “development” group was like that. Person who called me had a mid-level title with “developer” in the name, but it was immediately clear he didn’t actually know squat about coding (and he said as much). Then he proceeded to ask me questions which should have been clear from either reading my resume or the responses I’d sent to his follow-up emails - seriously obvious stuff.

When you’ve only got a half-dozen or so people in a development group, there’s really not a good reason that should include two tiers of non-coders.
