Hey there, My name’s Sean, and for the last year I’ve been making a documentary about…replicators. Specifically: what they are, the real-life projects working to build them, and their potential for radically redistributing economic and political power…sooner than you think. If you want to learn more, I’ve put a longer summary down below. I’m posting here because much of the film requires animation, and I’m currently trying to put together animatics (video sequences of storyboard panels) to convey the general ideas of these sections. Unfortunately, I can’t draw. So I’m looking to hire an illustrator to translate my stick-figure storyboards into more detailed animatic drawings that people can watch and understand. I need someone who can illustrate digitally (either in Photoshop or an open source alternative), and it will likely require around 250 storyboard panels of varying complexity, so it could be a decent chunk of work for the right person. Familiarity with video editing software is a plus, though not required. And while the right skills are the most important thing, I’d love to work with someone who has experience in hacker/makerspaces (…why I’m posting this here), or who’s interested in anticapitalist/commons/post-scarcity movements. I don’t have a large budget, but I can pay a fair rate for the work (which we can figure out once we’ve met to go over the scope of the project). So if you’re interested, please get in touch! And if you know anyone with the right skills, please forward this to them! You can reach me at afuturecookshop(a)protonmail.com, and it would be great if you could send me examples of any storyboard-like work you’ve done in the past. A bit more about the film: I’m making a documentary about…replicators. And by that, I don’t mean 3D-printers, but instead something much closer to the idea from science fiction – a box that can make anything you want, automatically and for free. It turns out, you can build a replicator like this…right now. With technology that already exists. And, a few groups already are. You’re imaging a single box, because of Star Trek, and overhyped 3d-printers. But you know how when they first invented computers, they’d take up a whole room? Today, a replicator would be kind of like that - a system with lots of different components working together, and people still doing some work here and there. So less a box on your countertop, and more a kind of community factory. But even though they’re a bit bigger and less automatic than you thought, they’re still really useful. If your community has one, you can make basically everything you need or want, using local resources and energy, and radically less work and money than it takes now. And what’s even more revolutionary, is that they actually can…reproduce. You can use one to make another, eventually for so little that communities everywhere can have one. (Note for hackers – yes, like RepRap. But…big. And able to make all the stuff you actually need, like food/housing/medicine/everything else) It sounds like magic, but groups including NASA have been working on it for decades, and the current open-source efforts have the potential to radically redistribute economic and political power…sooner than you think.

IT Manager at an environmental/human rights nonprofit

by Candace Lazarou

Hi freelance-y folks: I'm leaving my current IT Manager job at a nonprofit to try out web dev, which means I'm looking for a replacement that isn't a terrible person. So I thought of you all! This is an unofficial call for interested parties, hence no listing of the organization (although I'm sure you could find it). I'm addressing the freelance folks because this position (at 3 days) is an ideal way to have most of your week free/have a flexible schedule/but still have the stable income and benefits that you need to survive. The job is partially help desk for a small staff in Berkeley, but most of it is creating IT infrastructure and policy for all of our offices (we have offices in 6 different countries). You're the one "technology" person, so that means you're the de facto sysadmin, network admin, infosec expert, desktop support, etc. I'm more interested in your troubleshooting skills and self-agency than your slick resume. POC, trans/genderqueer, and women encouraged to apply! If you're interested please email me directly and I'll give you more info about the job. We're looking to get someone in the office for 9 weeks while I go to a developer bootcamp, and then return as an actual staff member 2-5 months after that. It's possible that we'll be hiring two different people for these two segments, but ideally we'd be able to hire just one.
