Hosts of the security updates thread are simply a group of volunteers. Being a member requires no special skills, only the willingness to contribute a few minutes of your time daily, weekly or even monthly, depending on how much you can spend.
Once you decide how many days a month and which days you can do this, you'll be scheduled, and your name will be placed on the Hosting Calendar Schedule. If the days you want are taken, let us know because other hosts may be more flexible on dates.
What's required?
Simple. The updates hosts start the daily thread according to their schedule, no sooner than 7:00 AM and no later than 9:00 AM Eastern Time during weekdays and no later than 10:00 AM on weekends. After they post the thread, they are required to check the thread about 3-4 times (or more if they want) for the next 12 hours to edit and update the list based on the new posts.
It takes approximately 5-10 minutes to start the thread and the updates take approximately a minute.
Knowledge of HTML coding is not required. If you can post and edit your post, you already know how to do this. You will also be invited to a members only forum which is mainly set up for the purpose of training and helping volunteers until they are ready.
If you would like to volunteer, PM any of the updates hosts listed at the bottom of the updates threads, and they'll get you started.
