| Request for Comment: TPF to engage Richard Dice on 6 month contract|

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
Earlier this past week I submitted a proposal to the TPF Board of
Directors; the [0]PDF of this proposal is attached here. The plan
includes a long list of projects, most of which have been discussed
within TPF for a while but have been on indefinite hold due mainly to
lack of available effort to address them properly. Some are for TPF
process improvement and others are in more direct support of the Perl
community. The essence of plan is that I be employed on contract by TPF
for the next 6 months working on this list.
The funding for this plan comes from the Ian Hague donation. The proposal
I gave Mr. Hague last year featured a division of it into two halves of
$100k each: one for p6 development, the other for TPF organization
building, which explicitly included the option to fund paid TPF staff.
So, we have the money and the blessing of the funder for it to be used in
this way. The requested amount in my proposal to TPF is US$5k/month * 6
months = US$30k. This monthly amount is the same as is provided for Hague
grants.
As a volunteer myself for the past few years I've been able to allocate
maybe 2 hours in an average week to TPF business. Very rarely I've been
able to invest significant chunks of time, and it seems the bigger things
I've accomplished have come from those periods of exceptional effort
(e.g. Forrester Survey @ 40 hours over 2 weeks, Ian Hague donation @ 80
hours over 1 month). This suggests to me that we'll get some really good
results out of this plan: TPF has never had on the order of 1000 focussed
hours invested into it before, especially for the kinds of things I list
in the proposal document.
I think this is a unique opportunity: the right combination of TPF having
funding plus the mandate to use the funds in this way, TPF having
significant needs, and the right candidate to address those needs being
available at the right time to be used in this way. The situation has
some similarities with what's going on in some other places in the Perl
world, like pmichaud being supported to be the Rakudo architect, and Dave
Mitchell working on the 5.10.1 release: support is being used to to let
exceptional people spend large amounts of time on big, gnarly problems
which advance important community projects, while at the same time these
people can enable the volunteer communities also working on those
projects be more successful and productive. This is a chance for TPF to
improve itself by using some of that same good foo.
Later this week the TPF Board will make a decision whether to approve
this proposal. In order to help them with that they want your input --
so, please post any comments you have here. (No anonymous postings
please. Use real names and email addresses; pseudonyms are okay only when
they're well known through the Perl community and can be correctly
connected to email addresses for any needed follow-up.) I am happy to
participate, answer questions, clarify my thoughts, etc. here, in email
and also over on #tpf on irc.perl.org if you'd rather chat with me
real-time there.
