Hi Eric,

What's the average weekly work time required for the proposed job ?

Although I do fulfil most of your requirements, I never worked with Quagga, 
neither am a native English speaker. I also have a full-time job (and a few 
projects
of my own), so accepting other projects would depend mostly on your definition 
of "part-time". And objectives.

Side note: why kernel development on PPP area ? PPP implementation is quite 
stable, L2TP also seems to work well (well, to some extent).

Best regards,

Álvaro Lopes

PS: I live and work in Portugal, and I can also read and understand French if 
required (just don't ask me to write or speak it, it's been a long time 
since...)

Thank you for your kind words!

I would love to work exclusively on embedded stuff and OpenWRT.

Not to look presumptuous but I can program in C since my 12 years old,
I'm now almost 35 so I have a good deal of C experience plus my
prefered scripting language is Bourne shell as interpreted in busybox
or bash.

> -General Linux systems administration and specific knowledge of Debian

Currently I work as {net,sys}admin on a University in Guatemala where I
just use Debian, too I administer servers for a French company with Debian
too.  In total I administer like 20 servers plus like 5 VMs plus 125
OpenWRT APs.

> PPP, L2TP, and Ethernet drivers

I just have a few commits to the kernel but I understand it well and
can modify it accordingly to our needs or integrate/backport patches.

I had good deal of Linux networking experience specially in TCP sender
side mods (Vegas, etc.), modified CWND, buffer sizes for NIC Tx ring
and Linux TX queue length, all this with focus in low latency and
buffer debloating (I'm member of the Bufferbloat community).

> -Embedded systems development experience, particularly with OpenWrt

In the Whiterussian times I had a very popular patch which fixes the
worst instabilities on Broadcom devices:

http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=10519

I had deployed commercially this embedded devices (with OpenWRT):

WRT54G/WRT54GL (MIPS)
WRT160NL (MIPS)
SheevaPlug (ARM)
GuruPlug Server Plus (ARM)
Soekris boards (x86)
BeagleBoard (ARM)
LeopardBoard 365 (ARM) (Arago distro)
N810 Nokia Internet Tablet (ARM)
Geos (x86)

Too I was of the firsts to port Android (kernel and userspace) to a real device 
(N810)
when Google publish originally the source code, I called my project NITdroid:

http://guug.org/nit/nitdroid/

> -Preferably some userspace development experience with OpenL2TP, pppd, and

Now that BIRD is better than anything else (additionally it supports
multiple kernel routing tables) I send some fixes to Debian and to
upstream all accepted.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=462341

Just with verbal English I honestly have a little problem here but I'm
pretty sure others can understand me.

> -Self-motivated with ability to work independently and as part of a team

I tend to work many hours a day (I fall sleep until 3AM).

Perfect.

I'm in Guatemala so telecommute is perfect for me altough I can travel
at any time.  I have USA Visa if that helps too.

> -Compensation negotiable

More than excellent!

> Please e-mail me if you wish to apply.

Too please check my simple contributions to Free/OSS:

If you want to discuss something in specific please let me know so I
can expand if I know about it or learn (if I don't know) in the
