[foodhackingbase] Coding for Change in Berlin with yunity and foodsharing

[Paul Free]

Hi there,
some people from the *yunity network* are calling for a spontainious
Hackathon in Berlin.

*Coding for Change:*
A hackathon dedicated to prevent waste and to expand the movement of
sharing!
Main focus lies in developing tools for the german *foodsharing
community, *same
as to develop tools to turn this movment global.
*Foodsharing *has around 18.000 actives and 140.000 registerd users. It's
pure volunteer driven.
The issue we're facing is that it's a very non-tech community. We're tryn
to fill this gap with yunity and looking for contributers, or
multiplicators.

Hope you can forward it to your friends or network.

A hackathon dedicated to prevent waste and to expand the movement of
sharing!

Purpose 1

yunity would like to invite you to join the endeavour to look into the
existing foodsharing.de php-code. The website helps over 150.000 people to
save food and to share it with others.
https://gitlab.com/groups/foodsharing-dev
Challenge

4 years ago foodsharing.de was programmed by a single programmer - “quick
and dirty” as developers say. There are problems with the readability and
extensibility of the code.
Purpose 2

yunity is developing a foodsaving tool (in multi-languages) to bring the
foodsharing movement worldwide. We got over 50 inquires from people who
want to start foodsharing at their local place. Together with the tool,
yunity will be going to this places to support the kick-start and to
connect local sharing initiatives (like free-shops, repair-cafes, urban
gardening, etc.) through a common interest: food.https://github.com/yunity
/foodsaving-backend
Challenge

yunity is looking for developers with experience in Python and AngularJS
who would like to join the development team.


*Purpose 3-6*

- build your glocal yunity community starting page

- Contributor Map Calendar

- Mapping Existing Foodsharing Initiatives

- Syscon Tool (tool for decision making in horizontal groups)
