[board-discuss] hiring Christian Lohmaier

2013-06-10 Thread Florian Effenberger

Dear community,

in its last private meeting, the board of directors has made a decision 
I would like to share with you today.


We decided to offer Christian Lohmaier a work contract, for a limited 
period of one year, part-time with 20 hours per week, specifically for 
web development. This involves developing, enhancing and bug fixing our 
web applications, like our CMS system, and like the new download page.


Given TDF runs more and more applications that are critical, and has 
very special requirements e.g. in terms of localization and 
scaleability, which are not always met by the upstream products we run, 
several community members have proposed paying someone with development 
skills - especially in PHP, Python, Perl, C, C++, Java - to implement 
those requests.


After careful research, the board has come to the decision that hiring 
Christian Lohmaier on a part-time, time-limited basis specifically for 
these development tasks is the most economical solution, and will 
provide huge benefits to the wider community. Code produced will, 
wherever possible, be also filed upstream, to the benefit of the open 
source products we use.


Christian has been around for many years, contributing a lot especially 
to our web applications, and the board is looking forward to have a 
fixed amount of his time in the future.


The total costs for TDF, including dues employer, translate to 
approximately 25.000 € per year.


After the contract has been drafted now and sent to the board in 
private, I hereby ask the board to


	1. vote on hiring Christian Lohmaier, for a limited period of one year, 
part-time with 20 hours per week, specifically for web development, at 
costs not exceeding 25.000 € per year,


	2. authorize Thorsten Behrens and me to sign the work contract on 
behalf of TDF


Looking forward to working with Christian!
Florian
