We’re expanding our Oracle team!

[Melinda_H]

Hey Community,

We have some exciting news to share - we're looking to grow our Oracle program!

As Public Mobile continues to grow and expand, we're hoping to do the same with our Oracle program; not only are we looking for new and exciting opportunities for Oracles to get more involved with the Community and with Public Mobile, we are also looking to expand our Oracle team. 

We're looking to add passionate, knowledgeable Oracles to the team, and we would especially love to add diversity and representation from those that are bilingual French speakers, so we can better support our Community. 

The Oracle program is designed to recognize our most active and helpful Community members who are passionate and knowledgeable about all things Public Mobile, enjoy helping others, and are interested in providing feedback & participating in ideation with Public Mobile.

This time around, we'll be trying something new and will be using an application process to allow all who are interested to apply should you meet the criteria below:

Who we're looking for:

• Friendly, welcoming, positive individuals that want to make the Community a better place & help others
• An active member of the Community for the past 12 months (you should be a top 25% contributor or higher for roughly 9 of the last 12 months)
• Someone who is able to take on a minimum commitment of 1 year to the Oracle program
• Individuals who want to be representatives of the Public Mobile Community, and who maintain and uphold our Community guidelines

Our expectations of Oracles:

Oracles are expected to be an active, involved member of the Community, and will be responsible for:

• Providing Community support such as answering questions and helping other members
• Maintaining the Community by keeping it organized
• Providing feedback & participating in beta testing and research sessions with Public Mobile 

What’s in it for you:

• Being the first to know about official Public Mobile news
• Sneak-peeks at new Public Mobile projects and initiatives
• Opportunities to provide feedback and weigh in on upcoming Public Mobile projects
• Events with the Public Mobile team
• Occasional Public Mobile swag
• Oracle Community badge 
• Unique Community privileges 
• And last, but not least, a $20 Community Reward every 30 days!

Does the above sound like something you'd be interested in? If so, we'd love to hear from you via our application form here; please apply by Thursday December 3rd. We will be reaching out to the successful candidates later in the month to chat about next steps!

That is an exciting opportunity for the many longer time members who are passionate about this Community. 

I'll not be one them for quite awhile yet (passionate, but fairly new to it).

Has there been consideration given to an anonymous polling/ feedback mechanism by non-eligible Community members towards the eventual short-listing or selection?

Wow that sounds great

There are so many community members here that qualify I'm sure you won't have hard time finding people fitting the profile. I can think of at least 3, though some may not be elbowing their way to the top ranks but are definitely present and helpful almost daily since I first came here.

I was also thinking the other day how much work the present Oracle have in their lap too.

Thanks for the great opportunity

Hmm very interesting and exciting announcement indeed!

I'm sure the current Oracles and PM could use some helping hands.
I can think of a few candidates who would qualify. 😊

Best of luck to all all interested applicants. There will certainly be a bunch if names to consider.

Exciting!  Since there weren't any new Oracles introduced last December/January, I'm sure many members were wondering when the next round of appointments would occur.  

Best of luck to all who apply.

This would be a great opportunity for those who are interested.

@LovesToPM   Hmm...aren't you proficient in French?  Sounds like you meet most of the qualifications 😊 but yeah I can think of a few too.  Good luck to those interested!

Well with those criteria it would seem that one or more of either LovesToPM, Jb456 and Lieux (although not a whole lot in English..but on occasion) would be shoe-ins. Go for it.

Yes, but was abandoned to elevate technical prowess over beside manner.  😎
