I'd be very keen to see a dedicated technical community manager as a
paid role, who would mostly spend their time going to London tech events and representing the movement.
That would be really bad on multiple levels - two obvious ones being that staff should be 'supporting' not 'representing' the movement,
Surely recruitment of new volunteers is supporting the movement.
and such work really shouldn't be London-centric.
Well, we can pay for them to travel around as well, but there is a concentration of talent and community activity in London, and our office is located there.
