[QGIS-Developer] RFI: Code review contracts by Oslandia

[Bertrand Parpoil]

Hello,

Oslandia contributes to QGIS through several projects carried out on 
behalf of our clients and through improvements made in-house. We 
actively and regularly review contributions to QGIS, and our own 
contributions are reviewed by members of the community.
Oslandia therefore already finances many contributions to the QGIS 
project and its community operations, in particular the review of code 
written by the entire community, by making its employees' time available.

Beyond our own code reviews by Oslandia employees who contribute to 
QGIS, we would like to set up direct code review contracts for 
developers in the community. The aim of this is to:

- respond to the high level of activity in terms of Pull Requests (by 
Oslandia employees and others) and therefore the need for review
- encourage review efforts in general
- promote the growth of the number of reviewers, and ultimately core 
committers

Oslandia therefore offers paid contracts for developers, which are aimed 
at:

- active members of the QGIS community who are likely to be involved in 
a number of Pull Requests
- or C++ and Qt developers who are likely to be involved in C++, Qt, 3D, 
and other issues.

Please note that this is not a community initiative led by QGIS.org but 
a specific initiative of the company Oslandia. Oslandia is the 
contractor and remains the decision-maker on the work to be prioritized 
under these contracts. The work carried out by the service providers 
must comply with all the written rules of operation of the QGIS project.

In the case of an expert from outside the QGIS community, we are 
committed to making the necessary efforts to integrate them into the 
QGIS community.

Contracts will be based on a negotiated hourly rate and a maximum number 
of hours ordered per contractor.

We require a commitment to responsiveness in exchanges within the PRs 
and an initial agreement to review the various PRs with a schedule for 
intervention.

The contractual conditions also include:
- compliance with the QGIS code of conduct
- a constructive approach to all interactions
- actively benevolent behavior
- justification of proposed changes
- compliance with all explicit QGIS rules

We are offering 10-hour contracts to start with, which can be extended 
or adapted according to individual needs and capabilities.

The process is as follows:
- Call for expressions of interest (this message today)
- Receipt of applications: before February 14
- Selection of candidates by Oslandia: before February 21
- Contractualization
