Also, Canonical was not the 'let see who would like to get hired', but 'we want these ppl from Debian, based on our previous work'. I do not continue, but I mean that one have to be a volunteer DD for a while, doing serious things, get knowledge, etc.; this will take (say years) to acomplish. I do not know if he has all the time for it, or how fast he would like to get paid for his work. Anyway, let's do it! Learn, be a DD, work and see what happens. For example I am also paid a bit for my Linux knowledge, but it started way before I became a DD (my primary workplace is about industrial process controlling[1], not related to Linux - but if anyony know any industrial system[2] running under Linux, let me know, private please).
