<h1>FSFE is hiring a working student specialised on websites</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We are looking for a working student to support our work to empower people to
|
|
control technology. The person will work 10-15 hours per week and will
|
|
maintain and improve the FSFE's websites. Applicants have to be enrolled in a
|
|
German university and can work remotely.

<h2>About the FSFE</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to control
|
|
technology. Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives and it is
|
|
important that technology empowers rather than restricts us. Free Software
|
|
gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt, and share software.
|
|
These rights help support other fundamental freedoms like freedom of speech,
|
|
press, and privacy.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The FSFE helps individuals and organisations to understand how Free Software
|
|
contributes to freedom, transparency, and self-determination. It enhances
|
|
users' rights by abolishing barriers to Free Software adoption, encourages
|
|
people to use and develop Free Software, and provides resources to enable
|
|
everyone to further promote Free Software in Europe.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We are involved in <a href="/activities/">many activities</a> in the legal,
|
|
economic, political and technical areas around Free Software. Our work is made
|
|
possible by a community of volunteers, supporters, donors, and staff. The web
|
|
working student's job will strengthen the public perception of the FSFE and
|
|
allow more people to work effectively with the web presences.

We are looking for a reliable, well-organised member of our technical teams
|
|
who is keen to learn about old and new technologies. You support the whole
|
|
organisation in its mission. Long-term thinking, efficiency and effectiveness
|
|
are more important to you than the newest cool technology on the block.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
When people have technical questions, you can support them and also have
|
|
interest in explaining them the underlying technology in an adequate language.

|
|
<h2 id="details">Working time and compensation</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The desired working time is 10-15 hours per week but can be discussed. You can
|
|
work from anywhere in Germany, but should be willing to travel 1-2 times a
|
|
year to staff and web-team meetings. The salary is based on the currently
|
|
applicable minimum wage in Germany but can be higher depending on your
|
|
experience. A mandatory requirement due to administrative reasons is that you
|
|
are enrolled as a student at a university in Germany, and have a working
|
|
permit for Germany, for example by EU citizenship.

Free Software is meant to serve everyone regardless of their age, ability or
|
|
disability, gender identity, sex, race, nationality, religion or sexual
|
|
orientation. Hence, we encourage applications from all backgrounds and promise
|
|
to judge all applications on merit, without reference to any of the
|
|
characteristics listed. To promote diversity and equality in the Free Software
|
|
community, we shall give preference to applicants who identify as part of a
|
|
traditionally marginalised demographic in technology for applications of equal
|
|
strength.
