Hello everyone,
Would it be possible to investigate ways of getting funding for a position like this? As special interest group of the ADHO, is there a way some of the membership we pay can be redirected for positions like this?
As someone who has volunteered as webeditor and social media community manager positions in various academic projects I am very much aware these are positions that we digital humanists should recognise as labour intensive and very time consuming. The web is the gateway to what the group does, and keep asking colleagues (regardless of academic position or career stage) to do it on a completely voluntary basis seems unfair. Particularly when the membership to the ADHO is paid by numerous members and there seems to be budget for other things.
I know talking about money is always awkward but seems necessary to say it, particularly in our field regarding web publishing work.
As always shared with the best intentions!
Warm regards,
Ernesto

Hi all,
We are looking for one or two volunteers to act as website editor for GO::DH to replace James Sullivan, who will be stepping down when a replacement is found.
The GO::DH website is run using Wordpress. The Website editor is an officer of GO::DH and attends the executive meetings.
This would be a great position for anybody who is interested in getting so more about the community and has some webskills.
If you would like more information about the current setup and/or duties, please contact James O'Sullivan (josullivan.c@gmail.com). If you would like to volunteer, please contact daniel.odonnell@uleth.ca, telling us something about your experience and interests.
