Feel free to forward around] Florence, 29 May 2004 +++ THE AGNULA PROJECT CALLS FOR HELP: WEBMASTER(S) NEEDED The AGNULA project is in dire need of a fresh and motivated webmaster - better yet, a team of webmasters able to work cooperatively and replace each other in times of need. If you are not a developer or a packager, this is your chance to contribute to our common goal - spreading Libre Software in the professional audio field. +++ The AGNULA project is in dire need of a fresh and motivated webmaster - better yet, a team of webmasters able to work cooperatively and replace each other in times of need. If you are not a developer or a packager, this is your chance to contribute to our common goal - spreading Libre Software in the professional audio field. As our long-time users know, the AGNULA web site (specifically, http://www.agnula.org/) has for a long time in need of a reshaping effort. Many informations contained therein are obsoleted, since AGNULA is not an EC funded project anymore, and the partners which are actively working on the various AGNULA sub-projects are not necessarily the same as 2002, when all of this began. We need a webmaster, and we need it now! :) Applicants should: - be well aware that this is a volunteer position. We are not able to pay anyone for working on our website right now; [0] - know Plone reasonably well. We are not particularly tied to using Plone as our platform for http://www.agnula.org/, but our webmaster should at least be able to export all the necessary data and in general analyze the current situation through Plone and Zope management interfaces; - know the relevant W3C standards that apply to the work at hand. Right know HTML 4.x and CSS 1.x / 2.x will do the job just fine; - be moderately fluent in english. Contents for the website shouldn't be directly provided by the webmaster, but a basic ability to understand "what goes where" is a plus. :) - have a positive, proactive attitude towards the job. Inside the AGNULA project we give the greatest freedom possible to each volunteer's creativity and imagination, bearing in mind some basic prerequisites (i.e. no proprietary technology or protocol used in our day-to-day work and in what we produce); If you think you are the right person for the job, don't hesitate writing us at: users(a)lists.agnula.org So that all our community can discuss about your ideas and how you want to proceed. Don't hesitate to write us even though somebody else already did: our goal is to create a medium-sized pool of volunteers able to handle all web-related tasks inside AGNULA. We perfectly understands that more often than not "real life" takes precedence over what we would like to do, but we'd like nonetheless to provide the AGNULA project with a continuos support as far as the website and related tasks go. Thank you for your time reading this, and thank you in advance for all the help you will be able to give. +++ About AGNULA: Agnula (acronym for A GNU/Linux Audio distribution, pronounced with a strong g) is the name of a project funded until April 2004 by the European Commission (number of contract: IST-2001-34879; key action IV.3.3, Free Software: towards the critical mass). After the end of the funded period, AGNULA is continuing as a volunteer based project, aiming to spread Libre Software in the professional audio/video arena. Best regards, -- The AGNULA Team info(a)agnula.org Our mailing lists: http://lists.agnula.org/ Our web site: http://www.agnula.org/ "There's no free expression without control on the tools you use" [0] As you might know, we are working on finding new sources of funding for the AGNULA project. Once we have a formal structure in place which can decide on the allocation of money, and once we have the money :), we could possibly be in a position to pay a webmaster. Of course, we can't do any promise at the moment.
