@igalia this is super cool but it's worth noting that the compensation is €7,000/450h = €15.55/h = (US)$16.82/h over the course of 3-6 months. that works out to full-time over the 3 months or half-time over 6 months at a reasonable minimum wage.

still very cool, but it's important to acknowledge the fiscal limitations imposed by that.

@igalia presumably the participants will be contractors as well, which in the US means covering one's own insuance as well as the portion of FICA that's normally covered by one's employer, so there's a meaningfully higher tax burden on top of what one would normally pay at a minimum wage job.
