| Postdoctoral Associate at [[http://www.csail.mit.edu|CSAIL]] in [[http://www.mit.edu|MIT]]. My research area includes Distributed Computing and Fault Tolerant Algorithms. | I am nominating myself to run for the HCoop board, in part because there simply aren't enough people interested in the job; that is bad for the cooperative. I do not have any grand ideas for HCoop, but I do have one strong idea that I think is sorely necessary for the smooth functioning of our organization. I would like to establish a reasonable team of admins for running HCoop infrastructure. Currently, our only admin is [[ClintonEbadi]], and he has a lot on his plate. I propose to take some of the routine load off of him by assigning roles to multiple volunteers (myself, included). Over the next year, I propose to have at least three people trained to maintain the HCoop infrastructure so that [[ClintonEbadi]], [[BtTempleton]], and others can focus on building and providing new services for the members. This should help us recruit new members as well. For instance, we can consider having a single installation of Moinmoin, Wordpress Multisite, and other services that are kept up-to-date by the admins and users simply configure them for their own use. Also, since I will be moving to New York City next month, I will be available for site visits as well. |
