please send this on.


Fedora Community Action and Impact Lead
=======================================


Red Hat's Open Source and Standards group funds a full-time position to
lead initiatives to grow the Fedora user and developer communities, and
to make Red Hat / Fedora interactions even more transparent and
positive. The Fedora community budget comes to us through OSAS, and this
position facilitates decision-making on how to best focus that to meet
our collective objectives.


The successful applicant for this job will be appointed to the Community
Action and Impact seat on the Fedora Council, Fedora's top-level
community leadership and governance body. The Council is responsible for
stewardship of the Fedora Project as a whole, and supports the health
and growth of the Fedora Community.


The person in this position will:


  * Hold the Community Action and Impact seat on the Fedora Council.

      • Work with other Council members to identify the short, medium,
        and long term goals of the Fedora community and to organize and
        enable the project to best achieve them
      • Primary Council member with responsibility for the development
      • Participate in decision-making about use of trademarks, project
        structure, community disputes or complaints, and other such issues
      • This seat holds a full Council membership, not an auxiliary or
        advisory role

  * Design and spearhead special initiatives to grow user and
    contributor bases

  * Implement metrics for community engagement, participation, and
    satisfaction; create and execute projects to improve those metrics;
    report regularly on progress and adjust approach as needed

  * Identify opportunities to engage new contributors and community
    members; align project around supporting those opportunities

  * Communicate community needs to Red Hat and participate in regular
    meetings with internal Red Hat stakeholders; align Red Hat
    participation in Fedora beyond platform engineering

  * Represent Red Hat's stake in Fedora community success

  * Improve on-boarding materials and presentation of Fedora to new Red
    Hat hires; develop standardized materials on Fedora which can be
    used at Red Hat globally.

  * Work with Fedora Council and OSAS to determine annual Fedora Budget

  * Ensure that budget is published and tracked transparently, with a
    public page indicating how each year's budget is earmarked and its
    current state.

  * Participate in planning and organizing Fedora's Flagship events each
    year, including:

      • Flock
      • DevConf.cz
      • Regional FUDCons
      • Fedora Activity Days
      • Red Hat Summit presence

  * 3-5× week, major communications to Fedora Magazine or other mass
    communication channel to talk about community goals/progress and
    general community boosting

Skills:

This job requires exceptional communication and organizational skills.
Strong experience with the Fedora Project or a comparable open source
community is essential, as is a strong technical background.
