Please e-mail mike@FreeBSD.org to apply. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Position: Wide String Support Integrator Job Description: FreeBSD is currently lacking in its support for wide strings. In particular, C99 and POSIX.1-2001 require some 75 functions not currently found in FreeBSD. NetBSD and the Citrus project have gone to significant efforts to develop a number of these functions. Your job will be to integrate these functions into FreeBSD. Job applicants should already have a commit bit since the job mainly involves testing and committing already completed code. If you are accepted for this position, you will be expected to have your work reviewed by the -standards mailing list before committing. Pay: The satisfaction of a job well done. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Position: Complex Numbers and Arithmetic Developer Job Description: C99 requires approximately 65 functions related to complex number arithmetic. These functions are mainly variants of the math(3) functions. Your job will be to develop these functions (most likely using libm sources as a starting point). Being a committer is not required for this position, but is helpful. As with the other job position, if you are accepted for this position, you will be expected to have your work reviewed by the -standards mailing list before committing. Pay: Free, lifetime use of an OS with complex number support. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on the FreeBSD C99 & POSIX Conformance Project see: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~mike/c99/ Best regards, Mike Barcroft To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-standards" in the body of the message
