Yuri’s Night 2009: Be a part of the Future
Yuri's Night 2009: New Site Coming Soon!
2009 is going to be a great year for Yuri’s Night. This will be my 4th year as the “Internet Strategist” for The World Space Party, and every year the group I work with keeps getting better. I’ve just put up the “Coming Soon” page -previewing the 2009 site design- and we will be launching with a new Web strategy in the coming months. But, we need your help!
Yuri’s Night is a volunteer and grass roots organization committed to evangelizing the importance of manned space exploration by throwing parties every April 12th to celebrate two of the pioneering events in our history: the first manned space flight of Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin in 1961 and the first Space Shuttle launch in 1981.
In 2008, we had almost 200 parties world wide, ranging in size from very small to very large. Check out the Photos from Yuri’s Night 2008 to see what I mean.
If you want to work with this great organization, check out the open positions for the Global Executive Team to see what we need. For the Web support team, I especially need help this year:
- News Editor: Someone to write and edit the news stories posted to the main site.
- Web Developer: Someone with MySQL and PHP experience who can take on the creating a better online experience for setting up and finding parties.
- Web Cast Manager: Someone who can find and manage the best solution so that parties around the world can broadcast their video feed.
You can apply on the Yuri’s Night Site, or email me (jason at yurisnight • net) wih any questions.
