In the next few days, I expect to receive my US immigration visa,
followed by a move to the US in August.  This is in order to pursue a
real job, meet family requirements, and enjoy significantly larger
income than I could ever hope to get out of doing RISC OS work, as well
as attempt to recoup the significant costs I've incurred by pursing so
much RISC OS work in the past few years.

Obviously this will greatly reduce the amount of time I can spend on the
project, and the most tedious and time consuming part of which is
administration - pursuing and maintaining subscriptions, collecting
money, etc.  The latter part will of course be quite tricky from another
country.

As such, I'm after someone to fill this role. I've already discussed
this with at least one person, but of course I need to make a
responsible choice by considering various people on a variety of merits.

The correct person will:

 - Be familiar with at least some of the basic technical aspects of the
   project.
 - Have a small amount of free time in order to purse adminstration
   duties - a few hours a weekend is probably sufficient - but it must
   be regular.
 - Represent the project at most or all of the UK RISC OS shows, and
   possibly some user groups.
 - Collect subscriptions, and send out subscription reminders.  This
   will include pledges for Firefox, and burning CDs.
 - Be able to show initiative when I'm not available to provide
   direction. This might include marketing, or any other activities
   you care to dream up.

Naturally, the person in question will receive some portion of all
subscriptions for their time, and some (greater proportion) for all show
sales, as well as reasonable expenses.

I have some ideas for figures for the above, but I'd like to hear your
proposals.  If you think this is you, then please send me (not the list)
your proposal for dealing with the project administration at unix [at]
chocky [dot] org.  This ought to be 200-300 words, and you can treat it
as a job interview questionaire if that helps you.  Enthusiasm is
important, but I must make the final decision based upon the
professionalism and comprehensiveness of your proposal.
