RE: CouchDB helped fighting Ebloa
Hello,
New here with a dated comment...
IDEA: It would be nice if there was a place online where developers
could donate time to working on these sorts of projects. I'm thinking
somewhere where the project dev head could publish a task list, and
developers who have signed up to be volunteers could commit code.
I personally would love to lend my meager coding skills to a project
that actually matters (I spend my days writing enterprise stuff so
that our customers can make more money! It pays the bills but surely
there's more to life).

Hey there,
it’s great to see people wanting to take initiative for
humanitarian projects. It shows that we are doing things
for the right reasons <3
FWIW, there are a few organisations of the “hack for good”-type.
Any particular names elude me, but this exists ;)
As for the Ebola project in particular, I was part of that and
we wouldn’t have been able to work with outside volunteers. The
pressures in this project were so high, that it required a
dedicated and in-one-office team to make it work at all.
This is just as a perspective, that some of these things can’t
be done in the more traditional open source way, even though
many good open source projects came out of it.
For example:
- https://github.com/eHealthAfrica/couchdb-bootstrap
- http://ehealthafrica.github.io/couchdb-best-practices/
Best

Hey!
I would definitely contribute! And I'm sure I know at least ten people who
would promptly jump on and contribute. I'm member of some local communities
in Brazil and people are always looking for cool projects to work for.
I'm not sure which NGO is the one mentioned in the article but I know that
eHealth Africa have been using CouchDB to tackle scenarios like that. They
even have a CouchDB best practices project
<https://github.com/eHealthAfrica/couchdb-best-practices>, where they
highlight many interesting approaches that may turn CouchDB database
development/maintenance a bit better.
Btw, I would definitely help! 🤘
