<div dir="ltr">I am not SLOBs member, however I'd like to share my opinion with you.<br><div><br>I have to agree with Ignacio, I am completely against making proposed "Social Media Manager" function to be paid.<br><br>First and foremost, because Sugar Labs is <b>volunteer-driven </b>project. The idea is that members work for free supporting a good cause, the free software. We should hire only when some extraordinary skills / exceptional amount of time (like e.g. "full time educator") is neccessary to correctly perfom one's duties. Creating other permanent paid functions inside the community would cause somehow dangerous precedent. And even if, the "salary" should be adequte to funds spent on buying ads. $100 budget for advertising in comparsion with $1,000 salary is unacceptable for me. <br><br></div><div>Also in my opinion we should set some requirements for candidates for this position, like: fluent knowledge of English and one another language, significant experience in different social media channels, ability to handle rough situations, responsibility, patience, PR skills. I am sure we can find someone who could meet them in the group of SL members/volunteers. <br><br>Finally, I don't know whether having social media team with one coordinator would not be better and less time consuming. The idea in general needs further consideration.<br><br></div><div>Best,<br></div><div>Tymon<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">sob., 18 lut 2017 o 00:15 użytkownik Samson Goddy <<a href="mailto:samsongoddy@gmail.com">samsongoddy@gmail.com</a>> napisał:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto" class="gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_extra gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_quote gmail_msg">On 17 Feb 2017 10:01 p.m., "Ignacio Rodríguez" <<a href="mailto:ignacio@sugarlabs.org" class="gmail_msg" target="_blank">ignacio@sugarlabs.org</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution" class="gmail_msg"><blockquote class="m_-1192602732730436771quote gmail_msg" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I love the idea except the part where someone get paid.<br class="gmail_msg"></blockquote></div></div></div><div dir="auto" class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"></div></div><div dir="auto" class="gmail_msg"><div dir="auto" class="gmail_msg">Nobody like the idea of getting paid, but that how it is.</div></div><div dir="auto" class="gmail_msg"><div dir="auto" class="gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_extra gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_quote gmail_msg"><blockquote class="m_-1192602732730436771quote gmail_msg" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
