Red Hat has a few job openings to work on the One Laptop per Child project:
Software Engineer II: This terrible job title is code for awesome engineer. We’re looking to build an update system for OLPC that isn’t the usual yum/rpm/deb/apt system and we need awesome strong CS-focused people to make it happen. There are two openings for this job, not one.
Program Manager: What is a program manager, you ask? This is a person who manages the process around the software development and release process. They make sure that bugs are being followed up on, improves communication both inside the team and handles messaging to other team members and helps hold people’s feet to the fire about what they should be working on. This is not an engineering position, but an engineering background helps. Other parts of this role include making sure that a QA and test groups are working together with the engineering folks to make sure that everything is ready to go.
It would have been more awesome if the purpose of the job was to re-implement a free version of Windows 3.1′s Program Manager :-)
Hahahahaha. No.
well, instead of reinventing the wheel and wasting money, and time, why not using conary instead ? it works, really.

why not use conary? atm, conary is bit of a pain outside rpath, but it can be done (if u talk to the developers). main advantage is with delivering updates over the net (dunno if such updates fits into how OLPC works).
