The creators of Mixxx – the free, open source DJ software – are looking for a community coordinator:

Would you like volunteer with the project, but don’t know how to code?

If so, we might have found the role for you – We are officially looking for a Mixxx Community Coordinator.

As the Mixxx community grows, we’re finding that we’re spending more and more time on administrative tasks and less time writing code. We’ve got cool ideas for stuff to do with our community, but we don’t have time to do them and keep pushing development forwards at the same time. A community coordinator will help fill a growing niche in our development team and will be a great benefit to the project.

Our community coordinator will have many responsibilities, including moderating the forums, writing blog and news posts, and will also hold the cherished title of Mixxx Chocolatier. We’re looking for a dynamic, enthusiastic individual with a passion for DJing (and excellent English language skills) to fill this position. Any experience with forums and HTML is a plus.

This looks like it could be a fun opportunity for the right person to get involved in an open source project.
