Had a call with Lynne from open food network. She mentioned a role that's opened up with them.
From the email:
Open source platform built to transform food supply chains to be shorter, build communities and regenerate the planet. Very values driven organisation working to build global food sovereignty
Used by dozens of regional food hubs in the UK and hundreds of food producers. Also a major platform in AU, FR. Used in another 17 countries around the world.
Our upcoming focus is on interoperability and product flows through not just our own platform, but through ecosystems. More information on this in this webinar. This is about creating digital infrastructure as commons enabling diversity at scale. I believe this aligns well with intentions in Code-Operatives.
We use Slack for comms, alongside our Discourse forum. Pipe managed on Github/Zenhub. Weekly delivery team meetings on Zoom.
We have a standardised pay scale, though Code-Operative can be on the highest scale of £35/hr. I know this is below your standard rate.
We're looking for about 30hrs a week, but can be flexible on this.
We try to have annual gatherings of the delivery team, generally in Europe but sometimes further afield.
Stack:
The application is written in Ruby and built on Ruby on Rails.
The original app was extended from Spree Commerce, and much legacy code still exists. Our upcoming priority is to remove this legacy code.
Frontend currently includes AngularJS. Our upcoming priority is switching to Reactive Rails using StimulusReflex
We use a PostgreSQL database
Our deployment is managed through Ansible scripts
Builds are hosted on Semaphore
We could explore different ways that someone from Code-Operative could get involved. Ideally to start they would join the team to learn their way around the code base and processes. But we'd be wiling to explore shorter, discrete projects if that would be a preferred way of working.
If this sounds interesting to anyone at Code-Operative it would be great hear from them.
£200/day
Mainly updating their React site and integrating with action network.
We've contracted to supply 16 hours a week on an ongoing basis to work through their notion board.
They've got quite a backlog, so that's probably the initial few weeks, then they do have ambitions to do more, so I would assume some interesting stuff coming up.
I noticed Common Knowledge tweeting about a framework they've put work into called Groundwork, link here: groundwork.commonknowledge.coop
My impression is that they got sick of building the same thing again and again for campaigning organisations and are building this to save them time and effort. I thought, hmm, maybe we could save time and effort as well.
I did a call with Chris from CK about it. He said that what's there is usable but not currently a lot there. It's mostly a django package (?) and some stuff in stimulus as well.
@calummackervoy would you be able to take a quick look at the link above? I think you have the most django experience of people in the network? Obviously anyone else can give feedback too.
Also talked a bit about linked data and wouldn't it be cool if all our clients used it but there we go, future thing.
