## TDF Developer Hiring Resolution 2022
"Whereas,
- with TDF stewarding, among other things, a well-working symbiosis of
various companies and volunteer developers inside of the LibreOffice
community;
- given that in the current situation, there are certain areas where
extra developers can add value with additional activities, that
complement the existing contributions;
- with this being an ongoing need;
Therefore the board resolves that:
- TDF will seek to hire a developer(s);
- who will report to the ED as a regular team member, and consult weekly
with the ESC, which will oversee the technical direction of the work;
- who will work in such a way, that both volunteer and ecosystem peers
regard them as helpful, supportive and complementing their own work;
- for whom as the initial areas of work, the board identifies
improving RTL/CTL writing support and accessibility for LibreOffice;
as well as mentoring new volunteers in these specific areas.
After that, depending on skills available, Writer tables, Base,
general regression fixing, Draw, and Math are the next focus areas;
- thus, there will be two job postings, with requirements matching the
initial focus areas listed above, and one or two developers will be
hired initially;
- after 6, and after 9 months following the developers starting their
work, the board will do an assessment of the situation and results.
Requirements for the candidates:
* Very good C++ development skills;
* Proven experience with Accessibility and/or RTL/CTL, additional CJK
experience is a strong plus;
* Love for open source;
* Team players;
* Experience with LibreOffice development is a plus.
Footnote: for a requirements analysis on the need for hiring
developers, please refer to information on the pages 3-8 of the
abandoned dev proposal:
