<div class="gmail_quote"><div><div>Hi LRUG,<br><br>It's me again, and again with just a weeks notice I'd like to see if anyone's interested in coding for a good cause this Saturday.<br>I attach the same email I sent last month for some background, but think I should use this precious space to say:<br>
<br>We need you.<br><br>One of the biggest outcomes from the last Code Jam was that we need more people with solid Ruby experience to help the rest of us.<br><br>We would greatly appreciate it if any of you could give up your Saturdays to help push this project forward. <br>
<br>Thanks - Zubair<br><br>PS: The free food last time was brilliant :)<br><br>On Thu, Mar 25, 2010 at 1:53 PM, Zubair Khan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:zubairk@gmail.com" target="_blank">zubairk@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Please show us where we've not gone 'the ruby way' and help steady our course!</div>
<div><br></div><div>We're hosting a <a href="http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/5627892/LONDON/London-United-Kingdom/RapidFTR-code-jam-in-cooperation-with-ThoughtWorks/ThoughtWorks-UK-Office/" target="_blank">Code Jam</a> this Saturday at the ThoughtWorks office's to get our project, RapidFTR, through the final hurdles. We want to deploy it to the field and start helping reunite displaced and orphaned children with their families asap. </div>
<div><br></div><div>For more information on RapidFTR you can visit the website at <a href="http://www.rapidftr.com" target="_blank">http://www.rapidftr.com</a></div><div>Essentially RapidFTR is a very simple system that is used to gather information on lost or orphaned children so that they can be registered and kept safe in disaster struck places like Haiti or refugee camps like those in Sudan.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We're looking for anyone who wants to help, we require all sorts of skill sets. </div><div><ul><li>We need help with the website and API, written in Ruby backed by CouchDB.</li><li>We need help moving forward with our native BlackBerry client, written in Java.</li>
<li>We want to kick off a project to build a client for the Android Platform.</li><li>We need folk who know how to deploy Rails applications in a snap.</li><li>We want people with experience integrating Couch with Lucene.</li>
<li>And most of all we want people who are willing to try their hand at any of the above! </li></ul><div>If you would like to check out our code it's up on git hub: <a href="http://github.com/jorgej/RapidFTR" target="_blank">http://github.com/jorgej/RapidFTR</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>To thank you for giving up your Saturday, we'll be supplying breakfast, lunch and Monmouth coffee!</div><div><br></div><div>If you're interested please let me know: <a href="mailto:zkhan@thoughtworks.com" target="_blank">zkhan@thoughtworks.com</a> or <a href="mailto:zkhan@glass-i.com" target="_blank">zkhan@glass-i.com</a> and checkout the details on <a href="http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/5627892/LONDON/London-United-Kingdom/RapidFTR-code-jam-in-cooperation-with-ThoughtWorks/ThoughtWorks-UK-Office/" target="_blank">upcoming here</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>PS: Sorry for out the out of the blue mail. Seen as I'm new to Ruby I haven't been on this list much, but I'm looking forward to being part of the group.</div><div><br></div></div>
