Treasurer/Admin opening ..

I would like to be replaced as Treasurer/Admin.

  1. In keeping with what I would like to be the way this site operates, I think it would be very good if there is some rotation of responsibilities around here.

  2. I’d like to participate more actively in some of the decisions that people are talking about making, but not really doing the work to find out what the community thinks and, as an admin, I feel quite inhibited from being able to do this.

Requirements for the position: You have to be acceptable to the other admins and to the membership generally. You have to be willing to be known to the other admins by your real life info - real name, phone number, email. I think it’s also a fairly important thing that you are willing to be known to some people in the community in real real life.

When there is a change in treasurer, I will make sure that anyone with recurring donations is cool with it/has the opportunity to cancel their subscription, and have their info on Patreon removed.

Don’t be shy - apply! It’s more of a duty than an honor. The site needs you. Please help.

Also, it’s super easy. The routine stuff takes less than an hour a week. Setting up Patreon and Adsense to interact with Discourse was a little work, but that’s done.

What does this person have to actually do day to day?

Not much. It’s partly up to them, but the donations are pretty automatic. I’m just reporting them. People who want to make Paypal donations have required a couple emails. When money is distributed, the Treasurer will do that, but it looks like that’s maybe once a quarter.
