The Perl Foundation is needing one more grant manager. At the moment
there are two grants that did not start because current grant managers
have a reasonable number of grants to manage.

Grant Managers are the mean of communication between TPF and each
Grantee. They are responsible to organize grantee payments (to work with
TPF treasurer on the payment bureaucracy), and are responsible to keep
the community (through the Grant Committee Chair) updated about grants
evolution.

If you think you are responsive, and you would like to help TPF with this
task, drop me a line (or a comment). Received names will be discussed on
the Grant Committee so we can choose somebody by Friday.
