[ANN] - Mastercoin is looking for someone to lead the Smart Property feature

[ripper234]

Hi all,

We are looking for someone to lead the Smart Property feature of Mastercoin.
Just to clarify - we're not necessarily looking for a Tech Lead, but rather for a Feature Leader.

The responsibility of this leader would be to total, start-to-finish responsibility for driving the feature. This means, among others:

1. Defining the precise business use-case
2. Generating the PR material (e.g. one-pager, blog posts, whatever is needed)
3. Communicating with potential customers of this feature, understanding their needs, and ultimately converting them to actual customers.
4. Driving the technical implementation, schedules, testing...

You don't have to be a technical purpose to achieve the above.

You will get any help you require from The Mastercoin Foundation and community, in the form of information, budget, and connections. I'd like to remind everyone that we have a budget of over 5000 bitcoins (and some mastercoins) dedicated to promoting the project. We will be able to allocate appropriate parts of that budget for this feature.

I'm super excited to see this taking off!

Ron

P.S.
Please send applications to info@mastercoin.org
Personal queries can be sent to ron.gross@gmail.com - I hate bitcointalk pms

The Mastercoin Foundation asked me to review the candidates and select a "Smart Property Lead / Evangelist".
I want to thank all the people that applied for the Mastercoin Foundation Smart Property Lead position. I was glad to talk with each of you individually and hear how passionate you are for contributing to the Mastercoin open source project.

After much consideration I've selected Taariq Lewis for the position. Many of you might recognize Taariq from his interview on CCTV. He is passionate about Bitcoin and developing one of the first projects on top of the Mastercoin Protocol smart property feature.

Taariq will be serving at the point person for the Smart Property feature in the sense that he will be talking with other developers that want to build on top of the MSC protocol smart property feature, gathering community input, and bridging a dialog between the awesome developers coding it up and those that want to use the feature.

Here is his Linkedin profile to see his back ground: www.linkedin.com/in/taariq Preferred channels:

Phone: (646) 479 - 6098

(Yes I asked if I could post these publicly)

Thanks again to Taariq for offering his valuable time serving the community in this position.

Thanks David for leading this hiring, we got loads of qualified CVs and picking just one has been a difficult task, I'm glad you took it upon yourself.

Good luck,

Congratulations Taariq!
This might be too soon, but I'm interested what are the first/next steps for the near future (e.g. 1-8 weeks)?

Also I'd be interested in hearing if you have any thoughts yet on how could you keep us informed on how things are going? I see  communication in general as a huge challenge in the Mastercoin program currently; the best way to try to keep yourself up to date on the status is read the 100+ page "Exodus address" thread.
This of course is a natural side-effect when you have hardcore engineers running a project, but I wish you'll keep communication towards the community a priority, and set a great example for the other sub-projects.

Congrats again!
