Community Manager
Hello List!
Will there be/Is there a description about the work and purpose of the job "Community Manager" (in a blog, in the wiki, ...)?
Heh yeah. What does he manage? The community? Manage me? That just does not fit, nobody controls or manages me (or others).
You seem to have a very strict definition of Management. See wikipedia: "Management in all business areas and organizational activities are the acts of getting people together to accomplish desired goals and objectives." - if you can't see how a "community manager" can help getting people together without controlling them you might not be a good candidate for the job, but that doesn't mean the title is wrong.
Well I think ya'll have to understand this title is not given to me by openSUSE but by Novell. So I am responsible for managing the relationship between Novell and openSUSE, and otherwise I'm just like all of you - an openSUSE volunteer. Does that help make this more clear?
Greetings, Stephan
