The Green Software Patterns project is looking for new Project Leads. We are seeking volunteers from GSF Member Organisations to guide the project forward.

The Opportunity

GSF Projects may have 2-3 Project Leads who are responsible for:

• The direction of the project.

• Organize and run the meetings following the processes and practices of the GSF.
• The work and progress of the project are appropriately communicated to the WG.
• Facilitate discussion during the meeting, encouraging all members to participate in decision-making.

Project Lead considerations:

• This role requires 3-4 hours per month, including chairing meetings, preparation time, and offline communications.
• PLs must lead empathetically and create a welcoming space for technical and non-technical contributors.
• PLs represent the GSF, so they must ensure benefits are shared among all.

Project Lead support:

• Elected PLs will receive a wide range of support in fulfilling their duties from their Group GSF Ops team, including their own Project Manager.
