Although I don’t hold a ‘high visibility position’ like stats or operations, I
have been working on things; they’ve just all been ‘internal’. :)
One of those things is bringing more support staff on board. DCTI has grown
tremendously in the past year. While this is a Good Thing ™, it also means
that it’s more and more difficult for us to keep things under control and
running smoothly. To facilitate this, we’re looking for a Logistics Coordinator.
It’s hard to sum up in one sentence what this person(s) will be doing, so I
won’t try. We’ll be announcing more info in the coming weeks.
I’ve handed off the job of Regional Support Coordinator to Jerome Froment-Curtil
(JFC), and he’s putting a lot of effort into it! He just showed me the tool he’s
working on to allow our regional support staff to translate web pages for us
and it looks very cool indeed. It’s still in very early beta, so I’m sure it
will be a while before it’s up and running, but we are moving closer to having
multi-lingual pages.
Those of you who are subscribed to rc5@lists.distributed.net have no doubt
noticed that things have been a tad flaky of late. EA is working on the
problem, and as soon as he gets it fixed we’ll be able to return the list to
normal. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then you should really
visit our mailing list page!
On a personal note, I want to thank everyone who’s sent me their well-wishes.
For those that don’t know, my Mom had a heart attack 2/18. She’s now doing fine,
and the support I’ve gotten from DCTI has been heart-warming. Thanks!!!
