Ask HN: Looking for a project to volunteer on? (December 2023)

6 points by mdwalters 2 years ago | 2 comments

This thread is open to anyone seeking for volunteer projects and anyone who is seeking volunteers for their projects.

SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: A good example would be to write the name of the project, and a short description. Also write down the project website and git forge URL, and write the programming languages it uses. Also, please don't forget to start your comment off with "SEEKING VOLUNTEERS" for people seeking projects to find your comment easier, and not get it mixed up with the "SEEKING PROJECTS" comments.

SEEKING PROJECTS: If comfortable doing so, write down your name, and programming languages that you know. Also don't forget to write down some of the projects that you have volunteered on, or some of the projects that you made, and what you are interested in working on. Optionally, you can write your email, if you want opportunities to be discussed privately. Also, please don't forget to start your comment off with "SEEKING PROJECTS" for people seeking volunteers to find your comment easier, and not get it mixed up with the "SEEKING VOLUNTEERS" comments.

SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: We are an entheogenic church. ( A startup entheogenic church? ) We've been around for about 3 years now, and have growing technological infrastructure needs, and we lack internal expertise.

Our sites are hosted on proxmox, and run on LAMP - with Wordpress/ Woocommerce. Everything is PHP. We also run nextcloud, and a crm, and btcpayserver - though tragically unused.

We have a lot of random things that need to be done from Devops to Web Development. Very specifically, there are some things that are wonky with the haproxy setup and wordpress sessions/db that are causing missing users, and dropped sessions. It was all set up by someone with more knowledge than the current admin.

I don't know if this is the type of project anyone had in mind. lol... but maybe you share our 'vision' and want to help? ;)

We're a small organization, so if you have specific skills to help with anything else, we'd love to talk. Fundraising, grant writing, community outreach, any professional services like legal, accounting, consulting, etc are welcome too!

SEEKING PROJECTS : I'll happily volunteer to tranqulize wild animals, ranging from shooting darts to the actual work that has to be done to the animal while they are napping.
