Hello developers out there,
I'm just giving you a heads-up because I was contacted by Jason Warner of
Canonical (jason.warner@canonical.com and jasoncwarner on Freenode) about
the vacancy below. I'm sure there is one of you guys that is perfect for the
job. If you're interested, there is a link to the application form at the
bottom, or else contact Jason directly (please do *not* mail me about
this).
All the best, and good luck! :-)
