We have reached an agreement with the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) of Carnegie Mellon University to translate their CMMI-SVC framework into the Arabic language after they have received requests for the translated version. The CMMI-SVC model provides a comprehensive integrated set of guidelines for providing superior services. More details about CMMI-SVC are available at SEI website: http://www.sei.cmu.edu/library/abstracts/reports/10tr034.cfm
According to SEI translation framework, the agreements are held with individuals directly (translators, verifiers, and the project manager) not with any organization. Thus, the EAITSM role for this endeavor is mainly for auspices and doesn't involve any legal, contractual, or financial liabilities.
Call for Participants:
We need to employ in this project 4 professionals who will take over the roles of translators, and verifiers for each other's work. Since this project will involve commitment of high quality final product, and will continue over the span of almost 3 months, we need the participants to be available and committed enough for this work. The work on this project is a paid work, and individual participants will sign agreement directly with the SEI as explained above. Thus, only highly qualified and experienced individuals will be accepted to join.
Interested professionals please write to translation@eaitsm.org, attaching your CV, and clarifying the following:
- Your experience and knowledge related to CMMI models in general (preferably CMMI-SVC)
- Your experience of Arabic translation of technical and specialized materials
- References and samples if available
- Commitment to be available for around 10 hours per week for the project duration of around 3 months
Call for Sponsorship:
Since the SEI is affiliated to a university, which is not a commercial organization, all translation projects are funded by third party sponsors. The original English text, as well as the Arabic version that's to be produced, are made available for free download through SEI website, and no sales are gained from this work. Hard copy publication is handled by an independent publishing house, with which EAITSM may negotiate later an agreement for sales share of the Arabic version.
Sponsorship for this project will be used only to fund work of the local project team (translation, verification, and project management), with no fund is planned to be devoted to SEI itself. The estimated budget of this project is around 30,000 Egyptian Pounds. Sponsor of this project will be featured as a Gold Sponsor at our website homepage, and will receive all sponsorship benefits as detailed at the "About Us" page at our website.
Interested sponsors please write to president@eaitsm.org in order to agree and discuss the deal details.
We look forward to announce successful completion of this project and release of the Arabic version of CMMI-SVC soon.
