We are now at a stage where we would like to **focus on our communication channels**, in order to better connect the community:\r\n\r\n- We want to **keep community members up to date** with day-to-day development of the Hoodie projects and invite everyone to **participate in project discussions**. The goal here is to keep everyone in the loop as well as making it easy for newcomers to join and start participating quickly.\r\n\r\n- We want to make sure people who don’t follow Hoodie too closely get a chance to check in every once in a while and **see what is going on**.\r\n\r\n- We want to establish the Hoodie blog as **a source of inspiration for the larger Open Source community** by covering web development, offline-first, culture and diversity news that make a difference.\r\n\r\nTo make all of this happen we need an **excellent and motivated editorial team!**\r\n\r\nAs a member of that team, you will take care of **creating and finding relevant content**, and share it with the community via our blog, Twitter and so on. \r\n\r\n## 💪Together, the team will:\r\n- **Plan and write blog posts** on or around Hoodie, Hoodie releases, side projects, TGIF, community member profiles, conference and meetup recaps, etc.\r\n- **Solicit and curate contributions** to our blog from the larger community.\r\n- **Plan and manage our Twitter account**, announce new content, help funnel support requests to the engineering team.\r\n- Engage the community: **Welcome new people, wish happy birthday,** etc\r\n- **Coordinate with [@qate_oh](https://twitter.com/qate_oh)** on doing PR around The Hoodie Letter and The Offline First Reader newsletter releases.\r\n- **Find more editorial team members** – the more people who work on this, the more buzz we can create and the more fun we’ll have :)\r\n- Add **pictures of animals in clothing** to [our tumblr](http://meetthehoodies.tumblr.com)\r\n- **Whatever else you think is fun!**\r\n\r\nLet the web know about the advantages of Hoodie and simple & easy software development.\r\n\r\n## 💝Your perks:\r\n- **This is a call for volunteers!** There is no monetary compensation. *We realise that this limits the amount of time people can bring to this. We hope to be able to find funding in the near future, but we cannot promise anything – except for fun & great connections ;-)*\r\n- You will **work with an international community of web enthusiasts** on a high-profile Open Source Project.\r\n- You get to participate in and **learn the dynamics of a popular Open Source project**.\r\n- More often than not, people’s work within the community is being recognised by a large number of people, which can lead to follow-up engagements outside of Hoodie. (Read: this is good to get your name out). *We know this is a cliché in some industries, but we genuinely believe this could be worth it).*\r\n- Your contributions will be seen by **many, many people around the globe**.\r\n- *A set of Hoodie swag that can’t be bought anywhere.*\r\n\r\n## 😅Your skills:\r\n- We are looking for **people with strong communication skills** and a known track record of writing in English.\r\n- We are also looking for people who are **eager to learn and don’t shy away from showing initiative** and taking responsibility quickly.\r\n- We are looking for people who know how to communicate and work in diverse groups, across time zones and with limited availabilities.\r\n- **If none of this applies, but you want to learn, apply anyway! :)**\r\n- It helps if you have a basic understanding of GitHub, but this is not a prerequisite.\r\n\r\n*We are especially reaching out to underrepresented groups in technology, including, but not limited to, women, people of colour, LGBTQI+ people and people with disabilities.*\r\n\r\nWe are aiming to **keep individual commitments at about 1 hour per week**. If you want to (and can) spend more time on this, you are very welcome, but if 1 hour is what you have, that’s perfectly fine! If you have 1 hour every other week, that’s also great :)\r\n\r\n## 👻How to apply:\r\n\r\nWell, that’s it, in Open Source, you don’t apply, you *do*. But how do you get started?\r\n\r\nWe still have to figure this out, but instead of coming up with some convoluted scheme, we’d rather discuss with you how to get going, and how we can assist you best to join the community and take up this new role.\r\n\r\nYou can always chat to any of us in our [online chat](http://hood.ie/chat/), or send us an [email](mailto:jan@thehoodiefirm.com), or reply on this issue, if you have a GitHub account.\r\n\r\nBut to be really productive, [we’ll be holding official Hoodie Office Hours](https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/thehoodiefirm.com/hoodie-editorial-team) next Saturday, November 21st, 18:00 CET / 12:00 Eastern, 09:00 Pacific with @Charlotteis and @janl.*. If this time doesn’t work for you, please get in [touch](mailto:jan@thehoodiefirm.com).\r\n\r\nWe will be using this Google Hangout link next Saturday: https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/thehoodiefirm.com/hoodie-editorial-team\r\n\r\n🎈"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/hoodiehq/discussion/issues/comments/157682522","html_url":"https://github.com/hoodiehq/discussion/issues/84#issuecomment-157682522","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/hoodiehq/discussion/issues/84","id":157682522,"user":{"login":"janl","id":11321,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/11321?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/janl","html_url":"https://github.com/janl","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/janl/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/janl/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/janl/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/janl/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/janl/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/janl/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/janl/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/janl/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/janl/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-11-18T11:19:59Z","updated_at":"2015-11-18T11:19:59Z","body":"@natdudley I’m sorry we didn’t account for NZDT on this first round, we’ll keep you posted, though :)"}}
