OWASP is Hiring a FT Event Manager (35k USD)

Sarah Baso just posted the email below to the OWASP-leaders list which is a great move for OWASP.
    OWASP Leaders -
    We are looking for a motivated professional to take on management of OWASP Events.  

    Applications are being accepted until June 21, 2013 with interviews immediately following with a final decision made by July 5, 2013.
    How to apply: Email a cover letter and resume with your name and the position you are applying for in the subject line to owasp.foundation@owasp.org.
    Please help us spread the word about the position by posting to your chapter/project lists, adding to applicable job boards, or forwarding to any individuals that you think would be interested.
If you know of a good candidate, please ask them to go to https://owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Jobs/Event_Manager and apply to owasp.foundation@owasp.org

The only thing I would change is that ALL job application details (and correspondance) should be public, posted directly on the OWASP wiki.

For example at https://owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Jobs/Event_Manager/Apply (vs the private email mode currently set-up)

This would provide maximum transparency and openness, and if the 'all process is open' expectation is set from the start, then there are no privacy of HR issues.
