We value flexible people who get inspired by working on complex topics and enjoy solving problems on their own.Being able to work in both features and bug fixes is very appreciated.Given the inherent complexity of the kernel and its communities, kernel hackers should also be proficient in English and believe in open communication.Part of the job consists in communicating clearly and effectively on mailing-lists, and writing well-documented and detailed patches.
