OK, Here's what I'm going to do: Those of you in the UK and the USA have probably heard of a TV programme called 'The Apprentice'. The general idea that that a group of hopeful job applicants are given various tasks to prove themselves capable of achieving a position in a high-ranking post with a well known industrialist. The applicants are splint in to teams for various tasks, the team that loses a particular task are dragged into a board meeting and one of them is fired.
Well, could that format work in open source? I think so. So, up for grabs is the position of Project Manager of KTechLab. It's unpaid, but at least you won't have to work for Alan Sugar or Donald Trump - but as the winner, you will have built up a successful open source project and competed against some of the best in the industry. A sure bet on any C.V. So here's how it will go: Sixteen people will be selected to undertake a series of eight tasks, each will test your team work, marketing, business and technical abilities. The first task will start on the 1st of August - 10pm GMT in Second Life (Location to be announced) If you want to take part in this challenge, then e-mail me a short resume of your skills, and ensure that you have a FaceBook and Second Life account. The competition will be judged my myself and two 'Blue Chip' Colleagues of mine.
