UIS Seeks Website Manager

Postby Cheryl Jones » Aug 26, 2011 9:02 pm

Dear Friends,

The International Union of Speleology (UIS) needs help to manage and update its website. We need a website manager! Below is a description of the job; it is also posted on the UIS website: http://www.uis-speleo.org/.

If you are interested, please contact Christian Dodelin, UIS Vice President of Operations, at christian.dodelin@sfr.fr. If you have technical questions about the job, please contact Acting Manager Peter Matthews at matthews@melbpc.org.au. The website suggests contacting UIS General Secretary Fadi Nader, but Fadi is currently busy with work so contact Christian and he will coordinate with Fadi.

Please send this message to anyone you think may be interested. Thank you.

George Veni
UIS Vice President of Administration

UIS Website Manager

The UIS Website is the official electronic medium for the presentation of information of the activities of the Union and the state of international speleology. Here is a great opportunity for a volunteer to ensure that the website fulfils this purpose.

Responsibilities:
· Preparation and loading of website content in accordance with Bureau policy and upon request by the President and/or Secretary;

· Uploading the pages received from the UIS Calendar Editor and the Addresses Manager, although these uploads could be delegated directly to the Calendar and Address Managers if preferred by the Website Manager.

· Managing (but not loading) the loading of web pages by Commission Presidents, Publicity Officer, and the like.

· Other day-to-day operation of the web site.

Responsible to: The UIS Vice-President of Operations.

The amount of work is not great, but it does require good responsiveness and preferably a reasonably long-term commitment. The existing website is currently being converted to a modern format using the Joomla! Content Management System, so the new Website Manager could expect to be involved in this upgrade and its subsequent management. Updates for addresses, UIS roles and calendar events are done by others, so this job involves updating the rest of the website, together with its overall management.
