Hi,

EDIT2: already 15 new moderators in a few hours! From now on, only persons with a good moderation experience will be accepted.

As you may have heard, the next version of Ubuntu Brainstorm (which can be seen at http://devel.ideatorrent.org/) will come around October. One of the main targets of this update will be to enhance the ideas quality.
As such, one of the upcoming features will be the Idea sandbox, an area where new ideas will be reviewed by moderators before going mainstream.

Want to help? Join Ubuntu Brainstorm as a moderator!
Only a few minutes per day is necessary. Anyone can join, just send a mail on this launchpad team mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~brainstorm-moderators . EDIT: PLEASE send a mail introducing yourself at brainstorm-moderators@lists.launchpad.net (the email is on the team page) before applying to the team!

Your job will be to review ideas in the Idea sandbox, to help authors to structure them, and to approve/reject them. Once an idea gets a given number of approvals, the idea will go mainstream. You will also be able to edit ideas, to improve idea quality.
If you had some significant previous moderation experience, you will be granted additional moderators tools.

Interested but not sure? Join #ubuntu-brainstorm on IRC!

Ahh, if ever I was making money with Ubuntu Brainstorm... I'll keep it \\:D/

More seriously, I'm sorry if the word "job" confused some of you. That's a task to do in your open source free time :)

If I'm not mistaken, you are one of the people that applied to the team without sending an introduction mail at brainstorm-moderators@lists.launchpad.net . If you haven't, please introduce yourself, include your Brainstorm login and some previous moderation experience if any, before joining the team!

How much moderators are you looking for?

Should you not find enough of them on time, I would be willing to help out.

But I'm not applying now, just letting you know.

Okay, we have already 15 new moderators for Ubuntu Brainstorm! Great!

From now on, only persons with a pretty good moderation experience will be able to join.
Later on, "recruitment" will continue, but let's start with a manageable number!
