Time for Plan B - IRQLinux Team Structure 2nd Edition

Hi,

This is our 3rd official announcement for today.

• First Official Announcement
• Second Official Announcement

We have explained on the previous two announcements the reasons for all this so you need to go back to read what we have published before reading this :)

This is the 2nd Edition for IRQLinux Team Structure. The previous one was this.

• IRQLinux Teams/Departments

1. IRQLinux Artwork Team
2. IRQLinux Documentation Team
3. IRQLinux Internet/Networking Team
4. IRQLinux Marketing Team
5. IRQLinux Packaging and Development Team
6. IRQLinux QA Team
7. IRQLinux Technical Support

The following Teams/Departments have been excluded for the time being (which means we might add that later if needed):

1. HR: we do have an automated system now + no time to find someone who is actually interested (we have people in HR but they are busy and inactive) so we can safely exclude that for now.
2. E-Learning: no need for that. Our YouTube Channel and our blog's posts are more than enough. Should we find the time + enough human resources who are truly willing to work on that and help, we can add it later.
3. System Administration: not needed.

• IRQLinux Leaders Board Structure

1. IRQLinux Founder - roles: Founder + Project Planner + Project Manager + HR + IRQLinux Community Manager + Other [Status: Active].
2. IRQLinux Acting Project Manager 1 - roles: Acting + IRQLinux Technical Manager (Packaging and Development) [Status: Active].
3. IRQLinux Acting Project Manager 2 - roles: Acting + IRQLinux Technical Manager (QA) [Status: Active].
4. IRQLinux Artwork Team Leader [Status: Active].
5. IRQLinux Documentation Team Leader [Status: Inactive].
6. IRQLinux Internet/Networking Team Leader [Status: Inactive].
7. IRQLinux Marketing Team Leader [Status: Active].
8. IRQLinux Technical Support Team Leader [Status: Inactive].

• IRQLinux Acting Team Leaders (2+1 Plan):

This is a NEW plan (not yet discussed with IRQLinux Team). The idea behind this plan is very simple:

Each team leader (if available/active) needs to choose 2 'ACTIVE' members from his/her team. Those will be the replacement in case the team leader is away for whatever reason.

The purpose: if the team leader of any team will be away, the acting team leaders will replace him/her so the work will never stop.

• Reporting to:

1. Acting Project Project Manager 1 and 2 reports to the founder.
2. IRQLinux Team Leaders report to the founder.
3. [IF APPROVED] IRQLinux acting team leaders report to the team leader of their team. If the team leader of that team will be away, then they will report directly to the founder.
4. Members of each team report to their team leaders NOT to the founders.

• Effective:

This new plan is effective immediately the time it will be published.

We hope this new plan will be more effective and more helpful than the previous one.

• What is next?

1. IRQLinux Founder will start to assign tasks to the rest of the teams.
2. IRQLinux Team Leaders + Members need to be proactive and ask for tasks to be assigned to them. The founder can not run after everyone.
3. IRQLinux Project in a very bad need to Documentation people.
4. We are also in need to people who have experience with Linux, Packaging and Development (Debian and Ubuntu).
5. Discuss on a weekly meeting either on our IRC Channel or Google Hangout. Once a week or maybe twice a week.

That is all for now :)

Thank you!
