Hi all,
To fill the gap while we get our act together and get a hiring process in order, the board has decided to hire a temporary administrator for a few weeks. Rosanna Yuen joined the foundation staff on the 10th of March, and will work for us until mid April, or until we have a new administrator. So far she has done a great job of putting some order into the chaos that has built up since Tim's departure last year. Let me take advantage of this announcement to announce that we are also opening the hiring process for a full-time, permanent foundation administrator. We hope to move forward quickly with a hire, conditional on getting the right candidate, and the position is available straight away. Our job description is quite simple. Our administrator should: 1. Collect, sort and summarise mail for the Board 2. Handle bills in a timely manner 3. Prepare checks for the Board to sign 4. Track donations and fees 5. Maintain a list of Board contacts 6. Send out Friends of GNOME gifts to donors 7. Keep the boards files in order, and sending expenses (when appropriate) to the accountant 8. Handle the purchase and preparation of materials for tradeshows 9. Attend board meetings bi-weekly as appropriate, and prepare status updates 10. Have fund-raising experience 11. Be computer literate. Preferably Linux literate If the administrator is prepared to help with event organisation (in particular the summit) and be a source of experience for GUADEC organisation, this will be a plus. For practical purposes (office space, the foundation being incorporated in the US), the administrator position will be based in Boston, and all candidates should be willing to be based there. We are opening up the position for 2 weeks (until April 14th) to the GNOME user and developer community, and will be making a public call for candidatures only after that period, if we don't have a good candidate. Candidates should send a résumé to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in plain text. Thanks for your time! Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lyon, France _______________________________________________ foundation-announce mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-announce
