[edit] Linux Foundation Community Manager
Linux Foundation Community Manager
We're looking for world class talent to join the non-profit organization that is accelerating Linux. If you're passionate about Linux, there is no better place to work. We have a unique opportunity for the right individual to make a huge difference in Linux.
The Community Manager must have both a technical and business view of key issues facing Linux and can do the following:
- Organize workgroups by galvanizing member leaders and participants. Push agendas on calls and in Collaboration Summit meetings. Recruit the right people and enable them to lead the workgroups. This person will be the LF liaison between us and our members.
- Build community in these workgroups and in the general LF online presence by writing content, recruiting volunteers to write content and managing new web properties and strategies. This is a chance for you to be creative and be a thought leader.
- Be a technical source for Linux issues for LF management and prepare them for press and speaking opps in specific areas of expertise.
- Handle details around LF workgroups and advisory councils. You will own these groups so you are responsible for everytihng, down to the details. If you're used to a large staff to handle details for you, this is probably not the right job for you.
- Assist LF staff with conference and events. This could be writing and leading workgroup sessions, recruiting the right people, speaking at conferences, etc.
- Assist engineering in LSB content and community. (Moderating forums, recruiting participants, etc. for a new Web property.)
- You must understand the Linux ecosystem, especially server-related Linux issues, and be technical. (You don't have to be a kernel programmer but you need to know who they are individually. If someone says GCC you know what that means.)
- You need to be able to express yourself in writing but just as importantly you need to be able to organize and run a meeting. You need to be able to do details and get things done but also have a big picture view.
- You have to be politically savvy and understand motivations and sensitivities of divergent people and groups.
- Web programming or at least a high proficiency in new web strategies is preferred.
