[ELECTRON] Call Out For Web Developer

[liam casey]

Dear Electron Club

 I am looking for anyone interested in working on an online framework for an
alternative education group in Glasgow!



I am writing on behalf of the Glasgow Open School, a collectively run ‘free
school’ based in Glasgow. GOS is open to anyone to propose collective
learning situations and there has been a lot of exploration recently around
the use of knowledge and culture in our society, around different systems
for learning and exploring social relations and the dominance of capitalism.

GOS is always trying to look critically at the systems of organisation that
we use and for that reason are looking to develop a better way of
coordinating our online interactions. At the moment we are using a Wordpress
blog but we hope to develop a platform that will basically amount to being
an online school –one that is run collectively.
We think alternative systems of learning are immediately necessary given the
current attacks on education by the government and the increasing
marketisation of education under the pressure of capitalism.
We are looking for anyone enthusiastic to join us in doing this and also
people with technical knowledge on interactive open-source website building
e.g wiki’s and on-line content creation.
We are open to ideas about how this could work, whether we would work
collectively or simply receive advice.

If anyone is interested or has any comments please let us know. This is
something vital to us in our struggles in education.



Thankyou
Liam Casey
