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]
