So we're currently recruiting members again. First, a little about the Content Team. In the past, our responsibilities have been reviewing products, conducting interviews, and approving/rejecting news articles. Now, with the new site and management, our duties have been expanded. From now on, the Content Team will be in charge of all supplementary content, including interviews and reviews, but also tutorials, news items, and other articles. Therefore, we need a few more members. The current members of the Content Team are kkubasik, jeremy1701, and lakerdonald. The ideal number is currently pegged at around 10, but this might change based on the number of applicants we receive. The requirements to apply are as follows: -All applicants must be active members on Linux Forums for at least two months -All applicants must have, at the very least, 150 posts -Applicants should be able to write coherent English sentences -Applicants must be able to commit to meeting deadlines and being an active team member -No prior experience is necessary Beyond that, anybody can apply. If you are interested, send me a PM or e-mail me. Tell me a little bit about yourself, and why you think you are qualified to join the team. Please submit any prior work (if applicable) or any other supplementary material. Beyond this, please submit an example article or review, at least one page in length, for me to judge. I'll PM the successful applicants, and after they are all notified, the complete CD Roster will be posted here. Thanks, Andy __________________ the lost art of found sound Last edited by lakerdonald; 02-19-2006 at 11:30 PM..

However long it takes you to check the Content Devel forum and write reviews is the amount of time you need to devote. Go ahead and give it a whirl and apply. __________________ the lost art of found sound

Remember, many hands make light work or something like that.... __________________ Avoid the Gates of Hell. Use Linux A Penny for your Thoughts Formerly Known as qub333
