Details

We need to build a social networking presence and look for funding for our nonprofit, free, open source WhenWeMeet. You will work with the branding team member to help us find a new and unique name! You will be working with the whole team and especially the project manager and the branding/design creative. We will look at a number of fundraising/crowdfunding options

One individual position available

The plan is to build in an iterative and agile way, demonstrating progress on a weekly basis over an 8 week duration. Onboarding a small group of dedicated trialists as we go. The whole development process will be very creative, exploratory, evolutionary and interactive with one to two Zoom calls per week. This WhenWeMeet MVP project will be the first phase and then we will have the WhenWeMeet Launch project to follow it in another 8 week stint.

Requirements

  • Being able to work in a team is a must.
  • Attention to detail is a must.
  • Some experience writing promotional materials like press releases or one-pagers
  • Are you a strategic thinker, able to find a suitable opportunities
  • We will use https://opencollective.com for our crowdfunding.
  • We will use Google Drive Docs and Sheets extensively. See the current WhenWeMeet folder.
  • When you come to the interview make sure you have already signed up to Linear, Google, LastPass, Zoom, using your own Gmail/email address. You will need to tell us what this is.
  • We will sign you up to our Slack channel.

Kendraio framework

Kendraio App is a general framework for creating applications. Kendraio was created to service the creative/music industry to enable easy asset and rights management both locally and on third-party platforms. But what we've ended up creating is a generic data browser that plugs into remote APIs and enables highly configurable interfaces to be built. And we'll use this framework as the basis of this project. Please check out these links before accepting this mission: Kendraio App demo, Kendraio App on GitHub, Kendraio App documentation, Kendraio App website. As you create this project your feedback will influence the direction and capabilities of the Kendraio framework.

Wellbeing

This is a short and rapid project. Being able to flag difficulties quickly is vital for success. Team and individual wellbeing is paramount. We aim to have zero stress in this project by us all flagging potentially stressful situations early and quickly, and creating a relaxed and stress-free work environment.

Emotional awareness, emotional intelligence and authenticity: listening to our gut reactions and feelings will help us recognise when we are getting stressed. The intention is not to be a 'self help group' but to treat each member of the team as a human being with all the associated complexities of not being a robot! ;-)
