    If you missed on the main site, here are the latest news:

     

    As Inkscape continues to grow, the responsibilities of the Inkscape team increase in tandem. To keep up with the current pace, the Project Leadership Committee are looking for a Project Coordinator.

    While the Inkscape team consists mostly of volunteers, this will be a paid role — which, for our project, is the first of its kind!


    Responsibilities will include (but are not limited to):

    • Support and coordination of new contributors
    • Oversight of the project's development
    • Organizing contribution events (such as Hackfests)
    • Arranging meetings and setting their agendas
    • Assistance in management of project funds

    Interested?

    Hi @Lazur,

    The website page states "All candidates will be notified of our decision by May 14th, 2022." That's over 2 months ago, and I presume there would have been an announcement by now if someone had been chosen. If my presumption is right, that the role hasn't been filled, could someone update the page to reflect accurate application timeline dates, or even just say the process is indefinitely postponed?

    Cheers,
    Doug.

    Hi @douginamug, @SolidCapo

     

    The original announcement has been updated. 

    Was asked not to share any details besides that information.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    @Lazur,

    Thank you for updating the forum and website. I'm sure no one in the team intended for it to work out that way, but the unexpected occurs when trying new things—in this case hiring someone 🙃

    All the best to Inkscape! You're welcome to let me know if the position reopens 😉
