Calling All Developers!

Things are going gangbusters here at the Salsa HQ and we simply have too many great ideas that we're eager to implement.

We are actively looking for Salsa partners and developers (no experience with Salsa necessary) who are interested in some short-term paid development projects on top of the Salsa platform. Not only will you get to develop applications that will benefit the entire progressive community, you'll have the added benefit of getting training on how you can easily develop your own applications on Salsa and sell/distribute them to a broad audience.

Our new rapid development environment makes this all possible, lowers the barrier of entry for developers, and helps us build a true collaborative platform. You'll simply need to brush off your Javascript skills, as Salsa is built on the most widely programmed language in the world, and you'll find out things about Javascript that we guarantee will surprise and delight you.

This is an excellent opportunity to take on project work or a side project that will have significant exposure and benefit over 1,000 progressive and democratic clients. The projects are interesting, too! Think iPhone applications to contact congress, to GOTV and volunteer management, widgets, phones, turf and other field organizing tools, integration projects with 3rd party apps, etc, etc.

Learn more about developing on Salsa here:http://dev.salsacommons.org/

If you're interested, please get in touch (gharcourt at wiredforchange.com) and we can talk about the details. We also have some full-time engineering and database analyst positions open if you know of anyone.
