I'm looking for someone, who'd like to help me lead PyLadies Remote (http://remote.pyladies.com) and who'd love to join | |
me as a PyLadies Remote co-organizer. | |
As the name "remote" indicates, PyLadies Remote offers online classes for PyLadies living anywhere in the world, so you can | |
also live anywhere in the world and still help me :) | |
The workload isn't more than 2-3 hours a month so I'm not looking for a co-organizer because I can't handle the workload | |
anymore, I just believe that it's nicer to do things together and would love for someone other than me to know how | |
PyLadies Remote works in case I ever want/need to step down from my position or just don't have the time to organize a class | |
one month, am sick, traveling, need to take a break, etc. You get what I'm trying to say ;) | |
PyLadies Remote organizes one class a month. Ideally I would like for us to alternate months: I organize a class for January, | |
you organize a class for February, and so on. There is of course always the option to switch months if you happen to be too | |
busy one month etc., that's what's nice about having two organizers :) | |
If you decide to join me as a co-organizer, these are some tasks you would take on: | |
- Respond to emails. So far I only get a couple of PyLadies Remote emails a month so if answering emails is not your thing | |
or you're simply tired of answering even more emails, I'd be happy to make that my task :) | |
- Find teachers who'd love to teach a class for PyLadies Remote, discuss topics with them, and schedule classes. (I have a list | |
of people who are interested in teaching a class for PyLadies Remote so for the first couple of months you could just email | |
people from the list and wouldn't have to find teachers otherwise, although that would be awesome of course.) | |
- Find teaching assistants if the teacher requests them. | |
- Create an event for a PyLadies Remote class on Eventbrite and schedule a reminder email to all attendees. (I have a | |
draft email so all you would have to do is fill in the blanks really ;)) | |
- Update the PyLadies Remote website with upcoming events, add new resources to the website, etc. | |
- Schedule tweets on Tweetdeck to let people know about our upcoming event. (I have some tweet drafts so all you have to do is | |
fill in the blanks and schedule them ;)) | |
- Give the teacher access to the PyLadies Remote Twitter account via Tweetdeck so they can tweet out any updates regarding | |
their class (if they need to cancel the class for example). | |
- Brainstorm ideas and help me make PyLadies Remote better. | |
This may sound like a lot but it really doesn't take more than 2-3 hours a month (only for the month you're the | |
"main" organizer), I promise. Also don't worry about having to be "present" for all classes. If you're able to "attend" | |
a class while it's being screencasted, that's awesome, but you | |
don't have to. Your main task is the organization of the classes (and a few little other tasks I mentioned above). I will of | |
course help you and teach you everything you need to know so if there is something on the list you have never done before or | |
you don't know how to do, no worries, I'll show you how it works :) Oh and by the way, you don't have to be a Python expert at | |
all in order to help me! | |
What would be important to me is that you can fully commit to organizing a class every 2nd month (like I said if you can't | |
do it one month, that is no problem at all, we will find a solution) and taking on the tasks I mentioned above. I would love | |
to find a long-term co-organizer, who is willing to do this for a while :) | |
If you're interested in helping me and joining me as my co-organizer, or if you have any questions, it would be awesome if you | |
would send an email to remote@pyladies.com. I'd love to chat with you! :) | |
PS: If you're not interested yourself but know someone who would be, it would be awesome if you would share this with them :) | |
