Europe (remote): The Open Knowledge Foundation is looking for Python Coders.

OKFN (http://okfn.org) is a non-profit organization promoting open knowledge: any kind of information – sonnets to statistics, genes to geodata – that can be freely used, reused, and redistributed.

In particular we're working on an open source data catalogue, CKAN (http://ckan.net) which is used by various governments (including the UK's http://data.gov.uk) as an open data registry. Other projects include WhereDoesMyMoneyGo.org, an interactive state spending visualization site, OpenShakespeare.org, WeavingHistory.org and many other sites.

Most of our projects are based on Python, Pylons, SQLAlchemy (although we're looking to go NoSQL mid-term). We also look for people who are good at JavaScript, in particular Protovis and other visualization toolkits.

If you're interested, ping me at friedrich.lindenberg@....org



Are you looking for unpaid volunteers, or if not, what kind of salary range is included ?


Sounds interesting, and I sent you a message. I am also curious about the type of help you're looking for right now - full/part-time work? Volunteer?
