We are looking for good hackers with experience in free software. We work on WebKit (maintainers of the GTK+ port), networking, multimedia, javascript, etc. Working remotely is perfectly possible.

The company is Igalia (http://www.igalia.com), and we have a sort of cooperative structure (no bosses, all major decisions taken democratically).

If it sounds like your kind of thing, the email is in my profile.

Email him this, which is more succinct and does the same:

ps aux | grep [a]pache | wc -l

(because you use the character class, it doesn't find itself as what it searches for is different than its text)
