These materials are a critical part of advancing the FSF's work to support the GNU Project, free software adoption, free media formats, and freedom on the Internet; and to oppose DRM, software patents, and proprietary software.
Some of the position's more important responsibilities include:
stewarding the online publication and editing process for all outreach staff; including copyediting, formatting, posting, and maintaining material on our Web sites; and sending out e-mail messages to our lists;
producing and improving our monthly e-mail newsletter the Free Software Supporter;
improving the effectiveness of our audio and video materials use;
editing and building our biannual printed Bulletin;
promoting our work and the work of others in the area of computing freedom on social networking sites;
helping to produce fundraising materials and assisting with our fundraising drives;
cultivating the community around the LibrePlanet wiki and network, including the annual conference;

A successful candidate will have strong editing skills, especially in the area of copyediting, and will take pride in working with a team to create consistently polished and effective materials.
While this is a job for a person who is passionate about technology and its social impact, it is not a technical position. The main technical requirement is the willingness to learn to use many new and possibly unfamiliar pieces of software, with a positive attitude. That being said, experience with any of the following technologies will be considered a big plus: GNU/Linux, Plone, Drupal, CiviCRM, Ikiwiki, Subversion, Git, CVS, Ssh, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, Emacs, LaTeX, Inkscape, GIMP, Markdown, and MediaWiki.
Because the FSF works globally and seeks to have our materials distributed in as many languages as possible, multilingual candidates will have an advantage. English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Mandarin, Czech, and Malagasy, are represented among current FSF staff.
With our small staff of thirteen, each person makes a clear contribution. We work hard, but offer a humane and fun work environment.
The FSF is a mature but growing organization that provides great potential for advancement; existing staff get the first chance at any new job openings. If you're hired and don't like your job title, we might be able to change it. We're flexible like that.
The job must be worked on-site at FSF's downtown Boston offices. An on-site interview will be required with the executive director.
This job is a union position. The salary is fixed at $49k and is non-negotiable. Other benefits include:
Applications must be submitted via email to hiring@fsf.org. The email must contain the subject line, "Outreach and Communications Coordinator". A complete application should include:

]]>Company Background
The Positive Internet Company has been an innovative European open-technology company since its foundation in 1998. Focusing on high-end hosting with second-to-none customer support, we own and operate our own data center near Cambridge, UK with hundreds of our own servers (almost all running Debian). Additionally, Positive maintains PoPs across major European sites.
We host and maintain a variety of systems, including HA setups and clustered solutions. Many of these are fully managed by the Positive technical team. In addition to working with some big and interesting corporations (including major financial organizations and media groups) and household names (Ricky Gervais and Stephen Fry), we host none other than the father of Free Software himself, RMS. We also actively support various community projects.
Due to demand for its services in the US, Positive expanded to New York in 2008 and now operates a wholly-owned US subsidiary company. We are based in Manhattan (at a leading communications facility) with a DR site in Tulsa, OK.
The roles
We are interested in hearing from any junior or mid-level sysadmins (or wannabe sysadmins) with a passion for GNU/Linux. These positions will involve supporting our customers (mainly by email) as well as working on infrastructure. You will join a team hand-picked not just for their technical skills but their flexible understanding of our customers' needs.
Ideally, candidates will have experience setting up and maintaining web/database/mail servers utilizing technologies such as Apache/MySQL/Postfix/Heartbeat(pacemaker)/DRBD/Xen/Perl/PHP, but we are also open to hearing from anyone who may only so far have used GNU/Linux at home as a hobbyist. Having worked with open-source virtualization would be an additional bonus.
In the first instance, successful candidates would work from home. As the company expands, the position would likely be a mix of working from home and working from our New York sites/future offices. We anticipate that normal working hours will be 11:30am-7:30pm Eastern with some negotiation on these finer points for the right candidates.
As we are recruiting at a number of levels, salaries will be commensurate with experience. Successful candidates will benefit from the support of co-workers with many years of experience, but as these positions report to managers in London, candidates must be able to work independently and thrive in a partly autonomous role.
Once fully-trained, Positive engineers participate in our 24/7 call-out rota (with generous overtime allowances). Positive gives a good vacation allowance (20 days + Federal holidays + various goodwill days around the major holidays), lots of training opportunities, funding to attend free software conferences such as OSCON, company cell phone and the chance to work with some of the best free software experts in the business. There are various opportunities for international travel and a period of training in London where you will meet your co-workers. We also offer healthcare benefits.
Get in touch
These positions should interest anyone who wants to work with GNU/Linux in a completely Windows-free zone. Successful applicants will get the benefits of working for a firmly-established European company, but also enjoy the freedom and potential usually associated with a startup. If you are interested, please send a covering email and resume to jobs at positive-internet.com.
We will hold in-person interviews for shortlisted candidates in Manhattan on November 5th and/or 6th 2012 and candidates should be available for interviews on these dates.

Being a Tor Browser Hacker includes triaging, diagnosing, and fixing bugs; looking for and resolving web privacy issues; responding on short notice to security issues; and working collaboratively with coworkers and volunteers on implementing new features and web behavior changes.
We'd also need help making our code more maintainable, testable, and mergeable by upstream. Sometimes, we need to drop everything and scramble to implement last-minute fixes, or to deploy urgent security updates. You'd also be reviewing other people's code, designs, and academic research papers, and looking for ways to improve upon them.
