@igalia just for my understanding, why are you writing „free software job“? I have a hard time understanding this term. Are some companies expecting that people… pay to work there? 😅

@nachtfunke @igalia they mean "free software" as in open-source, the kind of software that's publicly available and modifiable by anyone, like the major browser engines, for instance -- chromium, webkit, gecko

wikipedia has a page about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Free_Software_Definition

@fumnanya @igalia ah, that makes sense. I totally couldn't read it like that. Maybe that is why the "Free" is capitalised? Not an english speaking native. To me this reads as "a software/it job that is free" but it is intended to read as "an it job about free software"
