Redesign the future of news - Theme Contest

[Adam Thomas]

Dear all,

I was encouraged to jump on this great list by one of your members and
post about a project I'm working on. Hopefully it's of interest!

I work for a non-profit organisation based in Prague and Berlin
supporting independent media through a variety of things building
great broadcast networks in interesting places (http://www.wadr.org
based in Dakar, using SoundCloud, satellite technology and open source
software), to reporting on undercovered stories (http://
sourcefabric.org/en/community/blog/670).

We also develop Newscoop, an open source CMS used by hundreds of
independent news organisations to publish content online. We're are
looking for individuals to create a new theme in a free-to-enter
contest. The winners will get professional development alongside
newsroom experts and an all-expenses paid trip to Sourcecamp Prague
2011.

We're looking for designers and developers to invent new ways to
display news content, new ways to integrate comments and social media
into the user experience, and new ways to adapt site design to mobiles
and tablets.

The contest is open until October 5th 2011 and you can visit
http://contest.sourcefabric.org to find out more.

Thanks for listening! Adam
