Hi all,

We are seeking volunteers to help design, develop and contribute content to a new online community - OneWorldWiki. People at any skill level or interest in Drupal are welcome - designers, developers, themers, or simply people who want to make a difference.

The "wiki" in OneWorldWiki means mass collaboration. Originally, we started using Mediawiki but found it too limiting so we're now using the wonderful world of Drupal.

The National Democratic Institute is looking for a creative and flexible programmer to build cool tools that help our partners around the world create more transparent, accountable and democratic governance. The programmer will work with our ICT Team and our country teams to design and build software for governments, political parties, civic action groups and networks of political reformers.

I am looking for a talented Drupal developer to work Full Time on the Tom Udall for Senate campaign. While I set telecommuting to "not allowed", we can work something out if it takes you some time to move down to albuquerque. While you would mainly be building/maintaining organizing tools for the campaign, we will need you to help a bit with blogging and social media as well as following the candidate to the occasional event. If you are interested, please contact me at solson@tomudall.com, or IM/Skype me at skyleolson. Thanks!

Steve Olson
Internet Director
Udall for Us All

My friend whurley has launched an online poll to bring open source to the attention of politicians -- specifically, the presidential candidates. He, like many of us, is troubled by the recent calls for patent reform put forth by larger companies that may wind up blocking innovation and threatening open source-oriented companies and contractors.

You can view the poll here and vote for which candidate you believe is best for the open source community. (Don't worry: "None of them" is an option!)

We at Scoop08 are looking immediately for an experienced Drupal developer to conduct a week's worth of theming as we prepare to unveil the fully functional version of our site. We're a national, not-for-profit student newspaper focused on the 2008 presidential race and all of the personalities and issues surrounding it. The project has already garnered local and national press, and should get more across the country by the end of the summer.
