I work for a national park in the Democratic Republic on the Congo as a tech lead. Some of the things we are doing: LoRaWAN for tracking and emergency response, ML to identify gorillas by their unique nose prints, and long-range drones for mapping and surveillance, and a management web app. If you’re interested in conservation / sustainable development and associated technologies let me know!

That sounds super interesting. Two questions: 1) Do you work remotely or are you in DRC? 2) What are some good ways to find job opportunities at the intersection of software engineering and wildlife conversation?

This is a very long shot, but I am looking for a marketing or design focused co-founder who has experience building social platforms or social shopping apps to help launch a new "Polyvore for makeup" with a few twists based on an existing site with a growing user-base and early revenue + monetization strategy. My email is in my profile! :)

Hi there. Seeing as you are in DRC. I've worked on a number of projects there. Maybe you might be interested in checking out an app we made to help NGO/media etc learn about and manage their digital and physical security? Lots of groups on the ground there have used it in situations like kidnap, targeted malware etc. It's called Umbrella. It's free, opens source, on ios and Android available in many languages. If you…

>Umbrella...kidnap, targeted malware

This looks like a behavioral modification tool, to prevent kidnap, etc. Two questions: is there a scenario database of DRC "actualized risk", that describe real kidnaps, extortion, etc ideally with root cause analysis? What is your revenue model[1]? Okay, 3 questions: what do you think of tools like what NSO provides for client recovery?

1 - Speculation: do you make revenue by providing a marketplace where security service providers can market to consumers?

I started working on a project called Taaalk (taaalk.co). It's a website where people have have text based conversations that others can follow. It was down for the last eight months but it's live now. No content on it yet as I need to get the database back from a dump, but looking for someone to work on it with me. It's written in Rails

I have an idea to replace posting on Facebook/Twitter where you sell your and your readers privacy with posting on your own blog. To achieve this, blogging platforms (I am aiming to WordPress right now) must remove the obstacles in user experience: people stopped blogging and switched to Facebook because posting on FB has more profits: it is easier (just visit front page of FB instead of logging to wp-admin and doing…

Aren't you reinventing ActivityPub?

Looking for anyone who wants to help with a few projects: a B2C SaaS (released), an experimental videogame (planning), an alternative to kubernetes that leverages systemd (think fleet but better, planning), and a B2B SaaS to get rid of middle management (starting). Contact info in profile.

I'm working with the OpenAir collective (https://openaircollective.cc) on open source, DIY-friendly carbon capture machines.

I'm particularly interested in the electrolysis of CO2. I could really use help from anyone with a chemistry background!

If you're interested, please reach out to me via my email or hit me up on the OpenAir discord.

This is a wonderful idea! Some of my most meaningful professional connections have come out of side collaborations. I'm a big believer in self-organizing among interested individuals.

Is there a reasonable, not-for-profit platform that can be used to organize something like this? Running it out of the YCombinator domain would add a lot of credibility.

I am creating a web based dynamic resume generator. It will come with the feature to handle filtering in display. It will be hosted on https://www.gitlab.com

If you need to spruce up your resume or want an easy way to update different versions of your resume to do an A/B test, you can collaborate.

Also open to collaborate to create a better way to save the data.

Also open to contribution if you want to.

Feel free to say hi in the contact in my profile.

Im turning my little art studio into a no-money collaboration space this year for software developers who make art or want to collaborate with artists.

https://tombetthauser.github.io/greensquare/

If there are any devs out there who make weird art, music, writing etc or want to Id love to see your work and maybe find some overlap to collaborate!

Also this is a great happy new year post :^)
