In order to help reduce the workload and expand the Arch Linux development team,
we are considering bringing on people to help out in the following projects:

1) Bug Wrangler:

Assign new bugs. Do initial triage; asking user to locate corresponding issue
upstream or open one if applicable. Request closure. Review trivial/easier
patches to our own stuff and give feedback. Stir up the stagnant pot of bugs and
move them forward or get them closed.

2) Mirror Administrator:

Handle new mirror requests through the bug tracker. Ensure contact information
is up to date. Be the lead contact on the arch-mirrors ML, answering any
questions that come up. Establish mirror quality control. Right now this is
manual via http://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ and then contacting mirrors
that have been out of date for a while; improvements to archweb could be made to
automate this.

3) Netcfg developer:

Implement bug fixes and feature requests to netcfg. Cleaning up the bug tracker
of the current open requests; either implement, fix, or close them.

4) Initscripts developer:

Implement bug fixes and feature requests to initscripts. Cleaning up the bug
tracker of the current open requests; either implement, fix, or close them.

5) ABS developer:

Implement bug fixes and feature requests to abs. Cleaning up the bug tracker of
the current open requests; either implement, fix, or close them.

Please send your applications to: applicants at archlinux.org. To help us filter
the applications by positions, add the appropriate tag at the begining of the
subject line: [application bug], [application mirror], [application netcfg],
[application initscripts] or [application abs]. Make sure to specify why do you
think that you'll be a good candidate for the position(s) you're applying for.
