      * Create patches for GNOME Desktop applications to provide
        complete integration with the Ubuntu desktop experience
      * Work with upstreams on planning and creating packages
      * Work with upstreams to get patches integrated upstream
      * Fix integration related bugs and other bugs
  
  Skills
  
      * Ability to hack in C and Python
      * Experience with bzr, git, and other concurrent versioning systems
      * Experience with launchpad and bugzilla bug tracking
      * Social skills needed to interact with upstreams and Ubuntu teams
      * Ability to set work schedule and systematically report on status
  
  If you are interested, we are looking to fill these roles ASAP, so

  the right people.
