My community looking for a website developer

Campfire

#1

I live in a small community in Sweden and we have a small association (community, ngo) which is trying to make life exciting with various activities close to us.

We have now a budget to create a website, but need a web developer to help us create it and maintain it. Ideally creating some sort of collaboration with Edgeryders around this.

I want to contract someone affiliated with ederyders to develop and strengthen the community.

I will be your project lead together with a woman from my community.

Feel free to reach out to me if you are interested or know someone that feel up for getting payed and at the same time develop a site with the values of edgeyriders, open source, inclusion, collaboration and generally good stuff.

great! I had a quick look at https://freelancers.edgeryders.eu/ and could not yet find a developer, but that’s not because there are none, there are many, we have not yet asked them specifically to add to the register there :). So let’s do that :slight_smile:

And of course we can ask some people directly and ping them on this post

@nirgal I think I saw something on linkedin about you being on the market for some coding work?

#4

maybe also put it on the weekly list for Stefano to get out there?

Hi, yes I’m available atm.
Looks like a project I’d be glad to contribute to, feel free to pm me so we can discuss details.

added to the outreach list, but without the #ngi4eu, since this is a general community matter, correct? should we add #makingaliving or #hiring or such?

Hallo @felix.wolfsteller and @MariaEuler we didn’t talk about the freelancers thing yet because there is still some coding to put in the finishing touches. Our intention is to turn it into a trusted network for finding skilled people - we already get requests for recommending people for paid work. We could scale this up to make it a go-to place to share and look for opportunities. We need help with three things to get it up and running.I think 1-2 days of work in total?

  1. Finish the last bit of coding (maybe 1 day of work for someone with Vue.Js skills to finish the form (we are missing some things like making it include:

    • Field for developers to add their programming skills (languages, front-end/backend, profficency level, samples
    • Field for people to signal what kind of availability they have
    • Fields for people to mention what/ who they have worked with in the community before (adding user handles)

  2. Some help from @Matthias to make the form directly talk to the platform (right now the information goes into an airtable, and then is uploaded onto the platform via a script that @owen wrote.

  3. Write a nice invitation email for people to add themselves to the directory and send to everyone in the extended Edgeryders network.

If anyone has a little time to help here is the github repo: https://github.com/edgeryders/freelance

Very cool. As a seasoned programmer this sounds like more work than what it sounds like ™. Been there, done that.
:slight_smile: But very happy to inscribe myself once its donw.
