Re: [board-discuss] hiring Christian Lohmaier

[Florian Effenberger]

Hello,

The Board of Directors at the time of voting consists of 7 seat holders 
without deputies. In order to be quorate, the vote needs to have 1/2 of 
the Board of Directors members, which gives 4.


A total of 7 Board of Directors members have participated in the vote.
The vote is quorate.

A quorum could be reached with a simple majority of 4 votes.

Result of vote: 7 approvals, 0 neutral, 0 disapprovals.
Decision: The request has been accepted.

This message is to be archived by the BoD members and their deputies.

Dear community,

in its last private meeting, the board of directors has made a decision
I would like to share with you today.

We decided to offer Christian Lohmaier a work contract, for a limited
period of one year, part-time with 20 hours per week, specifically for
web development. This involves developing, enhancing and bug fixing our
web applications, like our CMS system, and like the new download page.

Given TDF runs more and more applications that are critical, and has
very special requirements e.g. in terms of localization and
scaleability, which are not always met by the upstream products we run,
several community members have proposed paying someone with development
skills - especially in PHP, Python, Perl, C, C++, Java - to implement
those requests.

After careful research, the board has come to the decision that hiring
Christian Lohmaier on a part-time, time-limited basis specifically for
these development tasks is the most economical solution, and will
provide huge benefits to the wider community. Code produced will,
wherever possible, be also filed upstream, to the benefit of the open
source products we use.

Christian has been around for many years, contributing a lot especially
to our web applications, and the board is looking forward to have a
fixed amount of his time in the future.

The total costs for TDF, including dues employer, translate to
approximately 25.000 € per year.

After the contract has been drafted now and sent to the board in
private, I hereby ask the board to

 1. vote on hiring Christian Lohmaier, for a limited period of one
year, part-time with 20 hours per week, specifically for web
development, at costs not exceeding 25.000 € per year,

 2. authorize Thorsten Behrens and me to sign the work contract on
behalf of TDF

Looking forward to working with Christian!
Florian
