Canonical Is Hiring Graphics Stack Developers To Work On Mir

[Awesomeness]

Why would they want Mir? What does it bring to the table?

Obviously that it's still covered by their CLA that gives Canonical exclusive rights to sell proprietary versions: https://www.canonical.com/projects/directory

Does IoT need graphics driver crashes etc. ? or is it that IoT just means "computer" now.

Looking at the comments above made me pretty disappointed in the community at large so I'm going to say it below in bold so they can understand:

Who cares what Mir was, is, etc. For a very long time Mir wasn't Wayland. Nowadays it can pretend to be a Wayland compositor or something. I don't care. That people don't care and don't understand is logical. Same name, same vagueness. Whatever.

When wondering why nobody understands or get you, maybe the problem is not so much with all the other people. Entirety of Mir is highly confusing.

It would've been a great decision if they hired devs for Unity, not Mir. Unlike Mir, Unity is actually a great peace of software that I'd prefer to both kde and gnome.

They can use Wayland for IoT.

You mean Mutter?

If you possess the required skills send your CV regardless, most companies will not care about the exact amount of experience if you possess the required skills and can demonstrate them accordingly.
