Commons Caretakers (CCBV) is looking for UX experts and technical writers.
CCBV and its network of service partners offer specialized not-for-profit expertise to help improve the quality and maturity of free and open source projects. We complement their internal skillset, and allow these efforts to better scale and hopefully become self-sustainable as soon as possible. The services are intended for grantees of the NGI Zero programs and grantees of the wider NGI ecosystem.
We have an active relationship with NLnet foundation and with GÉANT, the pan-European data network for the research and education community. Through our participation in the NGI Zero programmes, we contribute to hundreds of free and libre projects working to establish a more healthy Next Generation Internet ecosystem. There's a wide variety of digital commons efforts supported within NGI0, ranging from libre hardware and software, open standards, open data and much more. See: projects for an impression.
Services are requested directly by the grantees in need, or are recommended to the grantees by the NLnet reviewing team. The projects receive 16 hours of support by default. More hours can be allocated based on the type of project, its impact and prospective uptake.
This is a part-time, freelance role. If you have some time to spare and are interested in supporting FOSS projects together with us, please reach out to us support@commonscaretakers.com.
