where to look for developers to help with a community project

[Emily Coats]

Hey all,

My friend is starting a voluntary group (that will eventually become a non-profit co-operative) which at the moment has no money or staff, just a great idea. She wants to inspire and support young people to start their own co-operatives, be it for housing, food or whatever. The project would have the joint aim of getting young people into work, and also getting more people taking things into their own hands and solving their own problems. She can explain it better.

Anyway, she would love it if some developers would be interested in getting involved in the project while it's still in its early stages... She needs a good website with more functionality than a wordpress blog, so users can log in and share their ideas etc. At the moment she has no money and knows no developers! I thought I might be slightly better placed to at least point her in the right direction.

Can anyone recommend a good place to look for developers who have a yearning to do some social good with their skills?

Thanks!

Emily
