[Chicago] Python devs to help out CHIRP Radio?

[Kumar McMillan]

My dear ChiPynauts,
I'm looking for some devs who can provide me with a quote to work on
the open source apps that power http://chirpradio.org/ .  We don't
have much in the way of funds but in addition to compensation we can
provide tax breaks and we can offer free tickets to concerts :)

Python devs: We're looking for someone to write a web app that the
music director can use to import new music into our digital library
weekly.  We already have a strong foundation laid where mp3s are
scrubbed and cataloged.  It just needs an easy to use web front end.
The code is a modern Python project using hotness like virtualenv/pip
and has a pretty good test suite and documentation.  It was mostly
written by Googler and digital library expert Jon Trowbridge.

If someone reading this also happens to work in Android / Java, we're
looking for help getting audio working in 2.2+ devices for our Android
app https://github.com/chirpradio/chirpradio-android/  That's step
one.  After that we may iterate on audio in older devices and other
features.  The code is based on the open NPR app code and we're
looking forward to collaborating with NPR on this.  We just aren't
very good at Android ourselves :(


Here's a little more about CHIRP Radio.  We're a 501(c)(3) non profit,
we broadcast 21 hours a day and our mission is to play new independent
music that doesn't get a fair voice in radio.  We also focus on the
local Chicago music scene.  We are fully run by volunteers; there is
no paid staff.  No joke!  Thus, we only have a small budget to work
with but we've exhausted our volunteer resources for these projects
above.


thanks for reading and let me know if you have questions,
Kumar (Tech Director at CHIRP)
