My name is Dan Peade and I'm a Melbourne based web application developer. In addition to my day job, I am currently trying to assemble a volunteer tech team to help with execution of the online strategy for the Public Transport Not Traffic Campaign (http://www.publictransportnottraffic.org/).
We’re looking for technical
professionals with skills in software development (any languages),
sysadmin, javascript, CSS/HTML and graphic design, who would be willing
to contribute even the smallest amount of time to helping make the
campaign a success. We'll definitely be focused on using open source as
much as we can.
One example of the kind of projects we'll be doing was this GIS based community engagement tool which was featured in The Age last week: http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/myki-main-cause-of-complaints-to-public-transport-watchdog-20140213-32nde.html
The volunteer tech team initiative is sponsored by Common Code, my employer, so all volunteers will have access to our office (organic fruit and beer often available!) as well as the chance to meet and network with other technical professionals in the industry.
If you think you might be interested in getting involved and helping out, or know anyone who would be, please get in touch! I’m on email here: dan.peade@gmail.com
Thanks for reading,
Dan
