> You'd think Canonical would contribute more

Context: I have +10y exp with Python, Linux (some packaging, kernel hacking, sys admin / SRE), C, several cloud providers (AWS, Azure, Hetzner, DO, OVH), etc...

Applied to a Canonical position (Senior Python Eng + required Linux exp + nice to have cloud knowledge), got rejected automatically because I don't have a university degree.

Tweeted about it, asking for some feedback. Tons of replies, same opinion: Canonical are plain elitists.

Don't expect them to contribute.

I'd rather work fast food than Canonical, you dodged a bullet.
Isn't Canonical the one that hires bases on High School performance?
