Volunteer Opportunities in Python

The purpose of this page is to act as an adjunct to the [http://www.python.org/community/jobs/ Python Jobs] page, which only allows the posting of paying jobs.

This page is dedicated to volunteer opportunities that are not necessarily any different from any other "real" job, except for the fact that the work is not done for pay. There's a separate page with information if you want to [http://www.python.org/psf/volunteer.html volunteer to help the PSF].

How To Submit a Volunteer Job

There is already a [http://www.python.org/Jobs-howto.html Python Jobs HowTo] page, and it would be best if you could follow those same instructions as closely as possible for this page. Doing so will allow people who are already familiar with this site to access the material quickly and easily, and should help increase your chances of getting a suitable volunteer sooner rather than later.

You may have to modify the [http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html reStructuredText] format for suitable use in MoinMoin. If so, please adhere as close as you can to the guidelines.

Please review the [http://www.python.org/moin/HelpContents MoinMoin Help] page if you have any questions regarding how to edit this page, how to use wikis, etc....

Please put all available positions starting after the following title.

[http://www.eurocv.eu/page.php?q=eurocv EuroCv] Official Python Developer:

Project: We are looking for a Volunteer Python Expert to develop a free Python application. We offer high visibility in all European Companies and we will publish a Promotional text in the [http://www.eurocv.eu EuroCv] website.

[http://www.eurocv.eu/page.php?q=eurocv EuroCv] is a network of professionals around the global whose curriculum vitae are available 24/7 in the European format free-of-charge to anyone through the world wide web.

Through the [http://www.eurocv.eu/page.php?q=eurocv EuroCv] Website : http://www.eurocv.eu, job-seekers can post and update their curriculum vitae in European Format (in any language) along with a cover letter and photo, free of charge. [http://www.eurocv.eu/page.php?q=eurocv EuroCv] system allows certain information to be secured or shared publically. Any information stored on the EuroCv system will not expire automatically.

The [http://www.eurocv.eu/page.php?q=eurocv EuroCv] system provides the job-seeker the flexibility to update the information, in one central location, without modifying the public access code that he or she can distribute to any potential employers. Employers can easily access the [http://www.eurocv.eu/page.php?q=eurocv EuroCv] system through the same Web site and view or download the information free of charge. For more information about this service: http://eurocv.eu/page.php?q=EuroCv

This software must connect itself with a free webservice developed by [http://www.eurocv.eu/page.php?q=eurocv EuroCv] Community (Free service to publish a European Curriculum).

We need help from python developers who also know:

Job Description: Create a Python Soap Client to connect [http://www.eurocv.eu/page.php?q=eurocv EuroCv] Free webservice.


[http://www.escreeningroom.org E Screening Room] (San Rafael, CA, USA)

Job Description: This is not for the faint of heart ! If you have time to hammer this out in the next three weeks let us know… We will be building an integration of “Broadcast Machine” with Paypal subscription services.*

We are looking for a volunteer web developer with a passion for documentary films and in support of the freedom of speech, with experience with perl, Python mysql. We are using agile (extreme) programming methods. We can’t pay you anything but you get to create the cool feature to support the freedom of speech.

The non-profit E Screening Room http://escreeningroom.org/ is dedicated to connect independent documentary film makers with their audience. We have on-line website dedicated to viewing unabridged independent documentary films at http://escreeningroom.org. We are starting a new website http://indiewebfest.org which will be an online filmfestival based running on open source “Broadcast Machine” from http://www.getdemocracy.com/broadcast/. The neat thing of the “Broadcast Machine” is that it is bittorrent based, and thus allows for unlimited band wide without significant funding. In effect this means that you don’t have to come up with thousands of $$ to distribute your idea or your film.

Independent documentary films are born out of the passion –often compassion - for the subject of the film. Often these documentaries are self financed. But there is little financial gain out of documentary film. As a result, documentary producers get discouraged and often leave the field. We think that’s a shame: to lose an independent voice, is a loss for a free society. At the e screening room we are changing that by connecting documentary filmmakers with their audience.

Project: The idea is to allow viewers to subscribe to a site through paypal. The viewer would pay a low monthly fee to get assess to a subset (subscription only) of the films on the site. The subscription fees are then redistributed to the filmmakers papal accounts based on viewer ship and will fund the site. This project will take place independent of getdemocracy.com but application will be released as open source. I expect that it will take about 40 hour over two months.
