Hi,
I'm Victoria Martinez de la Cruz, I'm a software engineer for OpenStack
Manila at Red Hat. I saw there is an opening for Ceph technical writer in
upstream. I would like to refer my mentee Soledad Kuczala, a soon-to-be
former Outreachy intern for OpenStack. She has been working with Manila,
but also with Ceph, and I believe she would do a great job as a technical
writer for Ceph. She is very detailed and wrote several documentation
pieces for OpenStack Manila (using documentation references we have in the
OpenStack docs team), she loves working with open source communities, she
has been working with storage engineers (and knows people from the
OpenStack and Ceph communities already) the last couple of months, she
knows how to work remotely, and she is looking for a full time position.
I've asked her to submit her CV, but I wanted to drop a line personally
referring her myself.
Let me know if I can provide more information about her background and
experience.
Thanks,
Victoria

For a detailed description of my skills please take a look at the resume
attached below.
Expected stipend / salary range: 1000 to 2000 USD per month
Hi Folks,
A friend in the python community sent me your link
https://ceph.com/community/ceph-upstream-documenter-opportunity/
I've been handling the Travis CI docs for the last 4 years, and left last
month. I've also done a little work for Red Hat (3Scale) recently.
No idea if you want a detailed proposal for the work, or just a CV
(attached) and a proposal of rates / involvement. My ballpark figure is
$1000 per day, but happy to discuss that if that is an issue, and my
availability is around 2 days per week.
I've not encountered Ceph before, but check most of your other requirements
pretty well.
Cheers
Sam
