My role on NextWiki

• Individual contact for new community members
  I am the central individual contact for new community members or those who think about contributing. You could call me the "head" of the "Welcoming Commitee". Do you want to work with us on Foswiki? Read this: HowYouCanHelp. Or just donate some money.
• Leader of Marketing Task Team
  I am an active member of the MarketingTaskTeam for Foswiki and act as the "Head of Marketing" at the moment.

My tasks and Track Record for Foswiki

• Organize internal funding. Results: Donation of 40h for the creation of a logo. Financial support of 1'000 Euro for Foswiki.
• Create a letter for existing TWiki-Costomers to donate for Foswiki and make it a template for others (both in English and German). Done. See: DonationRequestTemplate
• Talk to tax advisor about founding an association. Done. He will do it for free. See: TaxAdvisor
• Initiated efforts for collecting money for the association. I am really happy, that this works out.

• Ask lawyer to jump in, when we need to defend for lawsuits with TWIKI.NET or advise for a correct constitution. I hope to get a pro-bono-deal also. We will see ... <== He gave me a "no". Sorry.
• I invested 38.75 hours of pure community work for Foswiki in November 2008 plus uncounted hours on our own and our customer's wikis. I love this project and I truly believe in its success.

• Proposed UserVoice as a solution to integrate simple foswiki-users for priorization. Was not accepted.
• Created more marketing and tutorial videos for Foswiki at FoswikiVideos.
• Optimize marketing content on website (also for translations, maybe use German as template) (still open)

Scent Marking

I fully respect, that some important contributors in the community argue, that small changes often "scent" like a Self-Marketing-Activity. I am somebody, that often changes things in pages. I add a dot where needed or just a line or a sentence, without having a "real" and significant input, that truly adds value. I am just kind of catalyzing, what others did.

I do not plan to change this, but invite you to erase my name from the statistics instead. Please address me directly if you want to offer advice on that issue. I am open for your suggestions.
