## 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 willbe
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:

Hi all,
As promised. After the previous draft text ended up in a dead-end,
with apparently no compromise possible, it is time for a fresh start
to get developers hired.
The initial discussion was valuable and also informing this proposal.
With the following, we suggest a new proposal, brief and positive,
that makes clear where we stand, building on trust in the community,
and leaves it to the board to pragmatically act, based on their task
and responsibility to try to do the best thing for the foundation.
Your feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Cor
