We’re looking for a few volunteers who can reliably spend 1-3 hours per week approving submissions to the Channel Guide.
If you’re interested in being a moderator, please register yourself in the Channel Guide and send us a self-introductory email to Channels [@t] PCulture.org.
In the message, include your Channel Guide username, a bit of background about yourself (like a mini bio), and a sentence or two explaining why you think you’d make a good moderator.
Because the Channel Guide is a core component of the Democracy platform, we must reserve the right to turn down applicants. That said, we’re not overly picky — if you’re in doubt, give it a shot!
Hi Democracy!
I love Democracy, and I want to get involved in any way I can. So much power! So little authority!
I love open source of all kinds, but especially open source that affects realities for real people who could use some real tools. I would love to volunteer a few hours a week to support your work.
I work at a place that is building oss for community organizing (topp.openplans.org). What we’re doing is AWESOME! But I really want to get involved in other open source projects that have a direct impact on low-geek folks, and for a non-programmer becoming a Democracy Channel Moderator sounds like a perfect opportunity.
I’m reliable, I’m psyched, and I’m ready to start.
Best regards,
Vanessa
