Volunteers: Good Karma Guaranteed (and Maybe Money Too)
Would you like to become a free-software hero and at the same time promote freedom of the press and human rights? Maybe even get paid for doing so?
Become part of the Campware volunteer roster.
If you are an open source advocate or developer willing to help independent news media survive and prosper worldwide, look no further: Campware needs you!
Campware's aim is to produce the best software tools for news media battling government oppression and media-conglomerate dominance. This is arguably one of the most important causes around because many opinions, views, and assumptions are created by the media. Only by having a diverse set of views can we have hope to have an open society.
As Campware software-development projects are largely funded through project grants, we can't afford to keep large development teams on long-term contracts. We also can't afford to pay for the period spent getting acquainted with our applications (though our handful of core developers will gladly provide a helping hand). At times, however, urgent and exciting projects come our way, bringing in a sudden flood of capital. At these times we need to bring in people quickly to implement new features, and if we know who you are and know you do good work, we will ask you if you'd like to be hired for the project.
HOWTO Earn Good Karma Points:
- Choose an area that interests you:
- Software Development - if you like to code in PHP, C++, or Python.
- Testing - we can never have too many people poking at our applications and trying to use them to their fullest potential, or trying to break them.
- Translation - if you know a language other than English, you can help translate the applications
- Documentation - help improve the manuals with screenshots, tips and tricks, and HOWTO recipes
- Support - if you become good at using the applications, you can help other users on the mailing lists (most of the time you dont need to be a developer to help people with this sort of thing)
- Graphic design & Usability - if you are an artist or graphic designer, even an amateur one, we desperately need your help! We need icons and graphics for both the applications and our web site. We also need help to improve the interfaces and improve the workflow, as well as make things easier to use.
- Get involved
- Get acquainted with the application(s) you are interested in (and if you are a developer, the code as well)
- Ask one of our core developers ([email protected]) to assign you one of the outstanding Campsite, LiveSupport, or Docmint tasks. You may even suggest contributing something of your own.
- Participate with the team in accomplishing your goal. Over time we will see the good work you are doing and everyone will get to know each other.
- After we've seen your success and good work, we will ask you to help us and pay you whenever a project comes up that needs some extra hands.
