Dear All,
The Sahana Software Foundation supports a number of Open Source
Disaster Management Projects that are used by organizations
throughout the world such as the Red Cross and United Nations to
support disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery.
We're running our Software Development Internship program again this
year from November to March and this time we're also looking to for
interns to work on UI/UX design. These are a virtual internships and
are open to applicants from any country. If you want to put your
coding or design skills to use to build solutions which help people
affected by disasters then this is your chance! Please share this
among your own networks.
Software Developer Internships
These internships will suit someone with some skills in coding
web applications and who is interested in gaining more experience.
Software Developer interns will support the Sahana Eden project
(Python) or Sahana Vesuvius project (PHP) by working on tasks such
as supporting deployments, fixing bugs, writing automated tests,
porting and refactoring code and their own projects.
Design Internships
These internships will suit someone with a background in user
interface and user experience (UI/UX) design. Design interns will
evaluate the usability of the Sahana software and develop designs to
improving the user experience of the software. Ideally this intern
will also have experience in HTML, JS & CSS.
Interns will work with a mentor from the Sahana community and be
expected to work an average of 4 hours each week throughout the
internship.
At the end of the internship the intern will receive US$ 500. If you
are interested in either of these internships please fill out this
application (

Preference will be given to applicants who have made prior
contributions to Sahana Eden
(
http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/Contribute/Code) or Sahana
Vesuvius
(
http://wiki.sahanafoundation.org/doku.php/agasti:vesuvius:start) –
so have a go at fixing a bug before you apply! Applications for both
internships will end 13th October 2013.
