Urdu Project

The Urdu Project is the project to offer CNM Cyber services in Urdu.

Recruitment

Proposal

We plan to hire 3-4 Urdu-speaking graduates from the initial training immediately on the spot and will work on more vacancies:

• The candidates don't need either education nor experience in order to be accepted.
• The initial training lasts for 3-4 weeks; our training is free.
• The initial rate is $0.9 per hour, which rises up to $3 in 2-3 months.
• The job is generic coordinator's work -- our initial training fully prepares for that.
• The work is remote; the schedule is flexible.
• Usually, we give 20 hours a week, so my staffers have room for everything else.
• The initial training is challenging for many; in Ukraine, only 3 people succeeded to get to the end out of about 350 candidates. If the Pakistani statistics would be similar, we look at about 500 candidates in Pakistan, right?
• We would also like to target ladies sitting at home; men are usually bread-winners, their requirements are higher.

We don't interview the candidates. Instead, 100% of them have been forwarded to three courses. One introduces the project, the second does the technology, and the last teaches how to work with us. All have taken about 3-4 weeks. The courses feature not only lectures, but also task assignments -- they are not easy to complete. I have given a job offer to everyone who has completed all of the courses.

Advertising

In Ukraine, the announcements were posted on job-search websites, rabota.ua and work.ua

Ok understood, so we can post at facebook job posting page

at facebook or instagram we can make 10$ add in start

facebook job posting pages in pakistan and sialkot

Instagram

Facebook and Instagram sound good -- what can the budget be?

Handouts

about handouts, we can hire one person about 80-100$/month and i will provide him bike and patrol as well.

Let's try handouts on specific days or occasions. $10 twice a week = $84 a month. Plus the cost of handouts' production, right?

Events

To give a chance to get in touch, we tried weekly videoconferences, but really few folks ever joined, so we postponed.

we can do webconference as well in a month, like we can take any hall for rent and make conference with 100+ people can participate, what you think?

Do you think web conferencing might be helpful?

Referrals

To motivate referrals, I offered $75 per hire as a finder fee. However, that referral idea didn't work in Ukraine.

What about referrals? With regard to advertising, the choice is to promote the project itself or its referrals.

Technology

To support the project technologically, we created a platform with 3 VPS and one proxmox instance at hetzner.de in Germany.

can you tell me the size of disks what we need almost? About security ye we will do some optimization to secure it +we will install firewall in it. About ipv4 addresses i was asked you last time, but for now with this sunerio we don't need much so only 5 ips you can buy. we can use kvm based vms as well, but normally containers will be ok. we can use one vps for wordpress also, so the total 5 ips will be enough, one for main server, two for gateway, three for any vps or container and four for wordpress vps, and 5 for anyother we need in future.For securety we can use antivirus + CSF firewall, Also we can cloudflare, High available is good option also.

I plan the following technology projects:

   To buy an additional bare-metal server at hetzner.de at the same datacenter with our first one and offer you to design its security, as well as high availability of its applications. I would like to start with Wordpress. Then, we add MediaWiki, Moodle and the rest. Our main server and its WordPress instances were hacked a few times. This is a description of what happened with the server (it is in Russian though) -- https://pravka.bskol.com/ru/%D0%9E%D0%BF%D1%8B%D1%82%D0%BD%D1%8B_%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82
   If we agree on the additional bare-metal server design, to give you one of our VPS in the US to extend the high-availability of its core applications.
   When the server and applications are in place, to copy the Russian-language contents from the main applications.
   To interpret the Russian content into Urdu.

With Natalia's help, I am buying the server on Wednesday. However, I would like to discuss what you do there first. What type of RAID are you going to set up? What do you plan for its security? Firewalls? Last time, you offered me to buy hundreds of IPv4 addresses. This is not what I can afford. Do you have another plan? For instance, with 2 IPv4 addresses? Or are you going to use IPv6? Next, WordPress -- VM or container model? What would you do for its security? High-availability? To answer these questions, you can bill me using upwork or directly.

Disks

About Raid system please ask to server hosting, attach hardware raid system in it, so it will be good for our work, and speedup, also it will secure our data

Virtualization

OS installation first, so it will be proxmox, so we can create some shared container or kvm based container there as per our usage.
