[Wikimedia-l] [Wikimediach-l] Wikimedia CH is hiring two new staff

Thu Jun 13 09:53:23 UTC 2013

Dear all,

After my decision to resign, the board of WMCH decided to create an hiring
committee (Ilario Valdelli, Frederic Schutz and me) for hiring two staff,
CAO and CSO. 

·         The CAO will take care of the RH, administrative and financial
management of the chapter.

·         The so-called Chief Scientific Officer will take care of the
relationships with the GLAMs (or scientific partners). In Switzerland, our
reality is that most of our projects are connected with GLAMs, education and
academic institutions. Scientific involves hard and soft sciences in this
case. It means somebody that can manage projects and be accepted in the
academic and educational field and who knows well the wikimedian tools and
culture.

We want to have a complementary team that can manage together our chapter,
and let the board
 be a board and not waste his tame in operational tasks.

The relationships with the community and WMF as well as the reporting to WMF
will be done by both, but the CSO will coordinate it.

Hope it answers to your questions, and please ask me if there are others !

I don't know exactly the selection of this definition, but I suppose that it
has been due to the "choice" to don't be project manager because any project
has its own project manager.

He is project manager in some cases but for other projects is mainly a
supervisor.

About the projects I would say that WM CH is focusing the efforts mainly in
"scientific" projects. "Scientific" means not only "science" but is
connected with the approach had in the projects (also a project in the
literature may be "scientific").

I think that his effort is mainly focused to give to the projects a
"scientific" approach in order to give to the projects more quality.

Regards

Isn't that more program/project management rather than science?

Thanks,
