SocialCoder is a non-profit that connects volunteer programmers and designers with charities for short-term voluntary projects.
We are based in the UK but volunteers have signed up from all over Europe and the US.
Signing up is obligation-free, it only means you will potentially be matched with a charity for a specific project. How much time you give is up to you - we have a library of projects so you can see the kind of time involved per project (http://socialcoder.org/Home/ProjectLibrary)
Reasons to sign up?
* Use your tech skills to directly support causes you care about
* Add real-world experience to your CV
* Get a professional recommendation from the charity (assuming all goes well!)
* Receive mentoring from a SocialCoder mentor (experienced leaders) as and when helpful
It has been about a month since the site went live and the first priority has been (and still is) to build up momentum with volunteers. Nonetheless I am actively seeking charities who could benefit from these kinds of projects but so far - to my frustration - I have lots of encouragement and interest but no projects started. It actually hurts to admit that in a public forum, but I can't see the point in pretending otherwise. I have met up with local charity reps who love the idea, but I guess it takes time for something like this to gain traction when charities are already invested financially and emotionally in existing programmes of work, plus funding bids, plus tenders for service provision, not to mention the ongoing stress of keeping organisations afloat in the midst of global financial problems. I've heard some awful stories about how hard it is to keep a charity or NPO afloat right now.
But that makes me even more determined. Charities and NPOs should not be (but are) the ones to suffer most when times are hard.
Regarding specific technologies; it all depends on projects and is somewhat volunteer driven. An organisation might want (just for example) to make a campaign for mobile devices but will not care about which platform (or they might care but not enough to say no to an available Android developer).
I'm also very conscious of how these projects are supported after delivery (when the volunteer finishes). It won't be good if the net result is an unsustainable support and maintenance burden, so up-front planning is needed to a) avoid that or b) plan for it if necessary.
So far all the costs have been covered out of my pocket, and when I have good month (I'm a freelancer) I will sink some more into a marketing campaign. I'm not a marketer, no sir, its a shame I'm not asking for volunteer marketers else I could tap one of them.
I really like this idea. I use some of my free time to help out charities with development but I'm not much of a designer so this looks like it could be a great help!

SEEKING FREELANCER - PHP/LAMP Development - Newport Beach, CA, USA (Orange County)
The Boras Corporation, widely regarded as the premier single-sport athlete representation firm in the world, is seeking a freelance developer to help expand the capabilities of our internal web-based applications.
The ideal candidate will be comfortable and experienced across the entire range of the development process, from designing and polishing the user-facing bits to hacking on the plumbing.
We are open to remote workers, but would prefer someone local because a developer who latches on to this work could justify a permanent, full-time position.
A large part of the project will be bringing online older tools and datasets originally built in offline tools (Access, FoxPro, etc.) via PHP/MySQL.
A love of sports, particularly baseball, is useful, but not strictly required. We take great pride in being the best in the world at what we do, and most of us have played sports at a high level. Regardless, from top to bottom, our personnel believe in doing whatever needs to be done for the team.
Obviously we're not your typical HN poster, but if it sounds like a good fit let us know at jobs at borascorp.com.
SEEKING WORK - Remote - US ex-pat living in Bolivia
I'm a C#/Ruby/PHP developer that specializes in creating web applications that are responsive, fast and hand crafted. I write all of my HTML by hand and don't use WYSIWYG tools in none of my projects. I love writing semantic, lean websites that run exceptionally well on mobile devices.
I would prefer working through the oDesk interface as it has a number of benefits both for you (potential employer) and I:
1. You can track how much I work and what I work on.
2. You can easily limit how many hours I can work on your project per week.
3. I am guaranteed payment on hourly contracts.
4. I gain precious feedback on my contractor profile.

SEEKING WORK - iOS & Rails Development (San Francisco/Bay Area or Remote)
What Have I Got?
- A successful iOS app on the App Store (http://www.lineup-app.com), experience developing iOS frameworks, building mobile backends and websites with Rails (and Heroku or AWS), and figuring out how to get things done.
- I have worked with custom backends and Parse, I have built extensively on top of Twilio (Client and Rest API), and I pick new things up quickly.
- I have about a year of experience in both iOS and Rails development, which means I am CHEAP.
Why am I different than others here?
- I have a double major in Physics and German from UC Berkeley
- I lived in Goettingen, Germany for over a year and am more than conversant in German
- I was a professional lifeguard in Newport Beach, CA for 7 years

I am a US citizen, available immediately, can pick up new projects, fix existing projects, just answer your questions, or help at any stage of your app's progress (idea, building, testing, distribution, marketing, etc.) -- I've done it all and would love to help you out.
I am a self taught designer/developer who believes in creating pixel-perfect designs and in writing clean, standards-compliant code. I have considerable experience working with Photoshop, HTML, CSS, Javascript and Ruby on Rails.
I am a sysadmin who loves to efficiently solve business problems. With a DevOps background, twelve years of sysadmin experience, and a passion for problem-solving, I am keen to help HNers achieve their goals.
My main areas of expertise are:
Scaling high traffic websites
Designing highly-reliable applications
Building applications on AWS
Server maintenance and optimisation
Reducing the cost of existing AWS resources
Developing prototypes and full sites in Django
Although primarily a sysadmin, I am also experienced with Django/Python development. I am building my own startup with these technologies, so I know the sort of problems startups face.
I am building a business around the idea of a 'sysadmin as a service' for those people who need regular sysadmin work, yet do not have enough projects to justify hiring a full-time sysadmin. Would you like a friendly expert to work on ad hoc projects and also be available for emergency support?
If you'd like to discuss any of these services in more detail, drop me an email - mike@fadedink.co.uk
I have been shipping software for more than 10 years now, and love building high-quality products (or at least try my best for it!). I have recently started freelancing after my stint as a single founder, and am currently doing part-time contract work remotely for another HN member's startup.
I am proficient with Ruby on Rails and generally quite adept at picking up new technologies as per the needs of the product. I call myself a generalist, and if you are a non-technical person, I can handle most of the things for you that go in to building & launching a software product (including screen flows, server-side programming, system administration, analytics & a little bit of digital marketing.)
I am open to a potential co-founder role as well, but as you know well, a lot of things need to fall in place for it. I guess it would be best if we work together on a short project first to see how good we are as a team.
Please see my profile for the contact & other relevant information. Just drop a line to say hello, it's always good to interact with fellow HN members!
Freelancing and contracting to help bootstrap our startup, looking for ideally upwards of 20 hours a week (co-location in SF is fine. DC, Bay Area, NYC, or possibly other areas are feasible for short term deployments). Flexible up to 30 hours.

In the process of learning:
- Rails
- Ember.js
- Frontend wizardry
Existing strengths:
- TDD
- General full stack development from backend Java algorithms and datastore implementations all the way up to Django templating.
- Selenium autotesting
- Compass/SASS/SCSS
- Continuous integration setup
- Remote and inperson work environments
Adioso (founding team) - built the backend flight ticketing system, fare data scrapers, frontend display
TripIt (acquired) - built the continuous integration and testing infrastructure, including Selenium and iOS/Android autotesting
Google (intern) - developed autotesting tools for Google Maps
Fun facts:

So, according to my Mom, when couples have been living together for a long time, they typically take the next step in solidifying their relationship. I don't like letting my Mom down, so my girlfriend and I finally took the plunge and started a consulting company (while we bootstrap a startup).
I am half developer and half marketer. I am a web developer with an affinity for working with Python, PHP, WordPress, HTML5, JavaScript, CoffeeScript and jQuery. Front end is likely my biggest passion - I love building great experiences (including product support experiences) that generate strong word of mouth. And, I am a marketer who loves running tests, working with data, and spending as much time talking with customers as possible.
She is a marketer and writer with several years of experiencing managing marketing campaigns (utiliizing both digital and non digital medias), working as an information designer, and running public relations campaigns.

Last month I helped Sweden's tax agency with their Single-Sign-On implementation. Now I want to help you with your development needs.
My main expertise is back-end systems in object oriented languages such as Java/C++/C# with a special focus on security critical systems. I consider myself a problem solver, not a code monkey and do not generally care what framework or environment I move in, since I have easily been able to pick up the information needed to get up to speed and be productive as in my previous assignments. I use to keep myself occupied with numerous sideprojects mainly for fun, helping the community or just learning a new technology.

I'm open to some part-time freelancing to get me started in the freelancing business again. I'm a full-stack developer with strong focus on PHP for the server side part. I've been programming for +10 years, the last 5 I spent building (from the ground up) and maintaining some of the largest web sites in Slovenia (where I'm from) that have a few million uniques a month, so I know a thing or two about scaling.
If you have a small-ish project that would requiere someone that can build a page from 0 to production (provided you take care of the design) or you need something fixed or extended then I'm your guy.

Email me at jon@z-prototype.com and we can go over your idea for free, no strings attached. Unlike others I don't charge for or set a time limit on meetings - meetings are always free, because I want to build you the product you want. You pay only for time I spend coding.
Linux sysadmin and productivity/efficiency engineer
Every hour you spend doing monotonous and repetitive tasks is one that could be spent doing something else. If a computer can do it, why not automate it? If there's people involved, let's get it down to the bare minimum.
Why choose a sysadmin? Sysadmins are devoted to doing more with less, and cutting out waste. I've saved a company six figures via storage consolidation and improved user productivity through a variety of creative IT solutions. I can help you do the same.
I'm a university student in my third year of studies at the University of Southampton in the UK.
Paid work experience doing:
- Writing IE6 compatible JS+SVG
- Writing Python 3 to do automatic software testing, some C and C++ at the same time.
Unpaid Hackday experience:
- Analysing CCTV and crime correlations using heatmaps (Python)
- Predicting users energy usage based on their personal circumstances with a web interface (Node.js)
I particularly like Python projects but I have Java experience from uni, plenty of Javascript experience and some C experience too.
Full CV on request, I keep contact details in my profile.
I'm an experienced professional dev with 10+ years of experience shipping software in a variety of sectors -- from high traffic & enterprise web apps, triple A game titles and Unity games to CDN's and desktop software.
Available for new projects from December. I'm happy to talk about any project, but am most interested in web apps, mobile or Unity.
NOTE: I am not available to do any work relating to social networks, online marketplaces broadly, and will have to review any consumer-focussed work before I can confirm availability. If you're working on a b2b product we're probably game though.

I'll build you an app that will literally figuratively blow your pants clean off.
Also, I'll do it from $2000.
Reasons:
I've done a few of these now but the majority are in-house apps and as such I have little to show. I need to build up a bit of a portfolio that folks can actually see.
Also, due to personal circumstances, my hours are all over the place so I'm not Johnny Officehours.
I also have many, many years of web app dev and design experience. Happy to go into more detail via e-message and discuss all the bits & pieces.
I'm not actively looking for work, but if you have a really interesting, low-level C or C++ project for Windows, Linux, or Mac that I will find challenging and intriguing, let me know!
I specialize in lower-level development, and love finding nifty solutions to difficult problems. Lots of experience in handling/serving heavy-load/high-request code on limited resources (backup applications, web servers, etc). I'm mqudsi@neosmart.net, you can see my work online at neosmart.net and on the neosmart or mqudsi github pages.
SEEKING WORK- Florida or remote. I am an iOS (objective-C) developer who deployed several applications to the iTunes store, including fairly sophisticated apps for business clients. I also have experience with Ruby on Rails and Ruby/Sinatra. I can develop the mobile front-end as well as the REST back-end. I have previous experience with html5, Javascript/jQuery and php's YII framework. I have worked previously as a software developer for one of the top technology companies in silicon valley.

We are looking for a freelance Rails developer to assist in bringing this product to the next level. If you are a self-starter and knowledgeable code wrangler, please email us a little bit about yourself, including resume and github username, to jobs@cyanna.com (no recruiters please).
Full stack web dev with and a bit a sysadmin with focus on Ruby on Rails and Linux. Also a knack for SEO and agile team organization. I try to be able to know a little about every technical area a typical web start-up needs to cover (JavaScript, HTML, CSS, high availability, scalability, getting things done quickly, organizing remote teams, Scrum, ...), and go deep in server side development.
Usually I'm the guy writing the first test suite for a MVP turned actual product. I am productive within a few hours of picking up a new codebase.
My favourite project is built with javascript using backbone on the frontend and node.js on the backend. I also have an affinity towards Django and Python in general.
I'm an experienced Rails developer programming in ruby since 2007. I can see the bigger picture of the project with experience as a project lead, architect and business analyst. I can also take on operational tasks where my favorite tools include the Amazon stack (EC2/RDS/S3/Route53/CloudFront) and Chef for the provisioning of servers.
You can find more information on http://www.dosire.com/ or contact me on Twitter @sytses
Need a hacker with Javascript/Frontend knowledge, ideally Ruby on Rails experience and a bit of patience to rework an existing product. The product is a financial analysis package that wraps some financial analytics in an accessible UI, replete with highcharts and tables.
I'm not actually the client, just a developer on the project. I personally am flexible on qualifications and I think the client is amenable to that as well.
Don't hesitate to reach out if you think you'd be a fit.
Do you need to make large amounts of data accessible and useful or are you looking for someone to help with defining and building your web application? Let's talk!
My expertise is in back-end systems for building automation (integrated building management systems, visualization and analysis of sensor data in large commercial buildings, data-driven energy efficiency). Tools of the trade: Python (Django, Flask), SQL, JavaScript (AngularJS, Knockout).
Looking for an internship in iOS before I start studies. Developed Dive Into iOS (http://diveintoios.com) and started a teaching company in Singapore (http://pragmaticlab.com) Primarily good in iOS, but willing to learn and pick up new languages/skills.
I'm very good at finding solutions to difficult problems. Experienced engineer (MEng) with a good understanding of marketing.
For programming, my current favorite languages/frameworks are Ruby on Rails (7 years experience), Javascript (8 years experience)/CS(2 years experience).
