Role: Governance, documentation, user/stakeholder interviews, research, project support,
Hi Folks 
I’ll be looking after this job post while we’re considering folks interested in this paid work 
Hi Eriol, I’m interested.
Hi Eriol, I send you a message!, excited to hear back from the community
Hi @Erioldoesdesign ,
This role seems to be something lacking in most projects and I’m glad OSD is taking the lead here
While a community manager is expected to follow on each member’s progress and resolve conflicts, they rarely have the time to access a broader picture on the overall project, which actions require more intervention and which practices are actually effective.
This oversight position fills that gap, gathering that information and helping the community managers (and the project’s board, when it exists) to plan new actions and improve the overall community well-being.
There are already meta-projects and organizations work on this subject, creating metrics, codes of conduct, guides, and more guides and implementers’ guides and communities of practices, which should part of this role’s tool belt.
Other management tools, although originating from the corporate world, are easily applied and usable on the community projects, allow for a more detailed understanding on processes and practices in use, the intended goals and the existing deviations, and the corrective paths required.
A new approach integrating all these tools and organizations to create a simpler, integrated and straightforward methodology to help open community projects is something that this opportunity can create and share back, and increase OSD’s visibility and importance in the Open Source ecosystem.
On the other hand, resurfacing OSD’s history, purpose and actors is primordial to ensure the consolidation of the experience and honor the people which have contributed all these years, reinforcing community values and motivating newcomers with the expectation of their potential recognition in the future.
Finally, whomever carries this role forward, the results, reports and tools created by this project must have a consistent and joyful design and artwork, paid from this budget, in line with the main purpose of the OSD 
I will be applying to this role, but I’m open to collaboration with other interested parties, should the OSD board deems acceptable.

Replied.
I was rather terse, but I really, really, wanted to emphasize the most important principle in consulting: “First, we listen”.
