Subject: [sfchalkboard] looking for open-web enthusiasts and programmers

Hi All
We are looking for some skilled freelance programmers to help out on a
project for the next couple of months, with the possibility of extension.
We received a grant to create a collaborative web platform to support
open/participatory data, and digital story-telling centered around water
crisis. The idea is to develop a web resource, combining government and
activist-science datasets that both publicizes issues of water
contamination and serves to build resilience and political change on these
issues.
The content of the website will be generated through our community
organizing and community-based participatory research. We are looking for
self-driven folks who have worked in some of following - jekyll,
angular.js, html5, node.js, python, - or are generally experienced at web
development and data visualization. There are currently two people working
on the tech development side of the project and we are expecting whoever
joins to work collaboratively and divide tasks with them.
Because we are a new organization and working on a starting budget we are
looking for people who are interested in the project because they support
open data and the community nature of the project. We are able to pay
stipends and compensation is negotiable depending on experience.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the job or project.
If
interested, please send a resume and some examples of projects you have
completed to [ask Vicky for contact info]
