Hello everyone,
Can you imagine if the PFS Foundation had enough money to contract 10-15 people working for them? It would probably help us accelerate things a lot.
Obviously, there is not money for this, but if 50-60 people agreed on volunteering some hours every week, we would probably make things move as if the foundation had several employees.
I know that some have already devoted a lot of time to help us move forward. @Awor, @axolotl, @greek, Philip, @Dubya_B, and some others have worked very hard these years.
So maybe many more can join this effort as volunteers and committing to some hours every week. For example, in my case, I am in a terrible physical state and I am struggling to get the minimal money to survive, but I can commit to 3 hours every single week. Maybe others can commit to 5-10 hours every week? We could create a very important workforce.
Probably the best way for this to work is in a “corporate” way, with the people who are leading the efforts giving the guidelines or instructions or creating areas of work, as some of us are still walking in the dark, while others have a more clear image of what needs to be done.
Maybe we could create a way for people to register as volunteers, indicating the weekly hours they can work for the foundation and the fields they know more about?
For example:
How much time can you spend each week volunteering?
Example: 8 hours
What are your areas of expertise?
Examples: Marketing, IT, statistics, law, etc.
In my case, I can commit to 3 hours each week, I can help with Spanish translation, contacting or writing to Spanish media, EU data protection. I am also open to do any other thing that those who are leading the current efforts propose (e.g. administrative tasks, etc.), trying to get the most of every minute we can devote to propeciahelp/the PFS Foundation. I can also help with legal assessment or basic legal proceedings in Spain in case it was needed, I used to work as a lawyer, but I don’t think in my current state I can help with any major legal cause.
