Hello,
Available persons for head honcho role:
Amon_Re
"I'm not experianced in managing large projects, but i have the determination to get this thing rolling.
My experiances involve php coding, i have a fair understanding of C, and i also do installerscripts.
That's it really."
Rincewynd: "Not sure how I can help at this point, but here's an overview of my work-experience: - 5 years of 4GL programming. (No C/C++ alas, so I can't be helping programming); - 7 years of information systems design; - about the same (7 years) of database design (relational databases); - 2 years IT-consultancy; - 1.5 years (not fulltime) of managing small programming projects; - Too many years of writing development documentation (Functional Design, Technical Design, End-user docs); - I speak Dutch, English, French and German.
I've taken a closer look at my schedule, and I'd like to make myself available for the following: - 'replacement' manager. At the moment I don't have the time to take part of the management of this project on me, but this'll change in a few months. So if one of the to be appointed managers has to leave in the future I'll prolly be available. I do have management experience, tho not for a project this big. - PR/Community management. The user community will want to hear about the projects' progress. If we decide to provide periodical status-updates to said community, I'm willing to put these together. There will likely also be a myriad of other questions from the user community that will need to be addressed."
Mark: "I'll probably regret this, but I'll put myself forward to HELP with the project management:
First of all I think this is way to big a project for 1 person to manage it (especially as it will be done on a voluntary basis) and so if possible the project should be broken down ito several tasks (or sub-projects) and each sub-project has its own manager, with possibly one co-ordinator at the top level.
About me:
I am currently a Systems Manager at The Open University, this involves (amongst other things) managing IT projects (never done a coding project though). I'm also one of the site developers at AW.net, I have (in my university years ;-) ) done some C, but its not up to much currently."
No details available on Argo atm
Kind regards
