Introducing myself

Post by
Hi mates,

Following the reorganization of Waze's community world wide, I wanted to introduce myself formally.
My name is Ori and I am the community manager of Czech and Slovak community, along with other communities world wide.

Just to make thing more formal, I want to share with you a questionnaire in which users can suggest themselves or other users to the roles of coordinators and / or experts.

Please fill out the questionary until Monday February 4th.

I will publish the results and introduce the "elected" experts and coordinator by Thursday February 7th.

Thank you all!

Ori

Ori: Welcome, boss! ;)

MagicOfLA: You can always recommend yourself with list of all your expertises. The other recommendations will just support you offer, right?

for me it is not clear what is the difference between client/iOS/Android experts, etc.
some basics regarding the subject and also regarding requirements on those who would apply for the subject would be gladly welcome.

Shirli also informed about "local champs", but there is no way mentioned in questionnaire to apply for this.
+1 To my feeling the client expert means to know all client functions from the user side while the Android/iOS to know the background but I am unsure what level should it be there. It would be helpful to explain all categories before we vote.

Please explain also how the local champs correspond with the old Waze champs. Is it something different? I am not in the champs team.

Additionaly, are we going to vote for one common coordinator for CZ+SK or will be there one for each country?

Only your email is mandatory. As for the others - you've only got to enter the username.
Yes, yes, I started to write the post before I listed the form all the way down. Then I removed this part.

I guess so... but when I want to support let's say you, what fields shall I enter you in? I can't even remember what OS you smartphone runs :)
It's Android. :) Yes, that's difficult, we can know these only from the forum discussions. I have more coleagues in mind I will propose as editor experts but there are not many other fields I could fill with even one name. Let's hope that the role description will make this thing more clear. And if we start with at least somebody, we can always add more later.

Forgot one thing - it's not clear and written but my guess is that we will have common expert groups (and one coordinator?) for CZ+SK but how will it be handled for localization? In general, it shouldn't be problem to have it common too but it depends on the new community system functionality we don't know yet.

For those who don't know what's going on here, also this link should be added to the initial post.

Would be nice to have an option to add short comment in the form.

Ori, I went through the both announcements from you and Shirli and am still confused a bit.

If I understand right from Shirli the "local champs" will be active in local forums etc. and lead local community. This seems to be clear alhough I am missing this in your form.

While the "experts" have to monitor and participate in the relevant international forums (English knowledge mandatory in this case), am I right?

Then we have the "coordinator" of local community and "coordinators" of the expert groups too, on local or global level?

You ask in the form for optional proposal of expert leaders in local community. It's unclear here if you mean the "coordinator" role of an expert group here and if at local or international/global level. Or if you mean to propose just other potential experts here.

A little on the late side? ;)
Well no rush, I guess. Quality over quantity 8-)
Please be patient, CZ/SK special conditions are under discussion.

zirland: How what? I requested membership for Localization and Social Media expert groups here http://world.waze.com/forum/ucp.php?i=167, already got approval for Localization but not for the second one. (Tried a request for Waze champs too but that's another story.)

Ori, I think that Waze should catch on this list, possibly revise it according to own plans and enhance any missing expertises, and add it to the main Community Reorganization article. I'm sure it would clarify a lot for many readers.

I believe you did an excellent summarization!
