Public Transport Not Traffic: Tech Volunteers Needed
Hi Free Software Melbourne, 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. The 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 ----------------- Email: dan.peade@gmail.com

Sounds like a good cause.
We're looking for technical professionals […] We'll definitely be focused on using open source as much as we can.
More relevant to the purposes of this group: Will the resulting work be released under free software terms?

Thanks again. -- \ “The whole area of [treating source code as intellectual | `\ property] is almost assuring a customer that you are not going | _o__) to do any innovation in the future.” —Gary Barnett | Ben Finney

Yep. Not sure what the work will consist of but I don't forsee any reason not too. And some software we're currently making use of already is: https://github.com/openplans/shareabouts/blob/master/LICENSE.txt
