[ELECTRON] Call Out For Web Developer

[Michael Glavin]

Not sure if this is of great help, but http://rubyonrails.org/ is a good content 
management system used by several popular websites to date, including twitter.

Subject: [ELECTRON] Call Out For Web Developer


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
