Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Job description for OCT team member

I'm not sure in what way the OCT shall act as a spokesman on behalf of OpenACS. Furthermore
  • How much effort will be put in coordination and actual organization of attendences at trade fairs.
  • Is the OCT answering to journalists on behalf of OpenACS.
  • Will the OCT support marketing activities for OpenACS of third parties and under what conditions.
  • Is Coordination of new development, trying to prevent multiple implementations of features part of OCTs work
Though I appreciate the start of the nominations and already made my move, I'd strongly suggest to get the job description out, discussed and approved before the actual election.

The core team is primarily focused on the technical side of the OpenACS (what is in the code base now, what needs to be fixed, what needs to be documented, what needs to be added etc), so helping to avoid multiple implementations of features would be part of that. The intent is to have something like the apache project management commitee or the Tcl core team.

Advocacy/marketing is something some OCT members would do anyway, but it sould not be an obligation of the job and isn't part of the OCT mandate. I think it is important to be more organized about such things but I don't think just because it's important we should pile it on to the OCT.
