From: Gavin Treadgold
This is a brief request from the Sahana Software Foundation to fellow
GSOC mentors and their projects. We have already approached some
communities with requests for assistance, and I thought I'd ask here.
We are looking for additional developers to help us with Sahana and
continue to build an information portal that is seeing increased
interest and usage to assist organisations responding to events in
Haiti.
Sahana Haiti Reponse Overview page + areas we're working on
<http://wiki.sahana.lk/doku.php/haiti:start>
Skills we are primarily looking for:
(you don't need them all, any will do)
* Python - the main development for SahanaPy is Python
(we're not using PHP for this instance)
* web2py - we use the web2py enterprise framework for SahanaPy
(I'm told it is fairly easy to learn if you're used to Django)
* OpenLayers
* jQuery
Best place is to jump onto #sahana on freenode if you're interested in
giving us a hand or finding out more. As much or as little as you
want. Some of our core devs have been working really long hours the
past 5-6 days, and any additional resource would assist us greatly,
particularly as we're really starting to get some interest, traction
and coverage. And more feature requests.
If you read this far, thanks for taking the brief time required to
read this - hope some of you are able to join us on #sahana and help
out in whatever way possible ;)
