I hope its OK that I start a new topic here for this - someone move it if you think its better elsewhere. (I"m still a bit lost in this space.) I am moving ahead with desk-top experimentation with the newly configured OFN-Canada, and in Feb-Mar hope to get some farms and hubs involved in some experiments too. So - we will quickly generate a needed features list and other things that need tech talent. It is my goal to assemble an ecosystem of talent (or talent pool) around OFN-Can - including tech folks who we can draw on and employ, and who can join the global community of folks working on this. We donāt have money yet - but Iām lining up a barter program - looking for people to barter for organic produce as a little start. BUT - my initial problem is that I donāt know āwhatā Iām looking for. I live in the middle of the largest tech ecosystem outside of silicon valley, and I have an opportunity to go to all these different tech fairs and talent fairs - so I want to write a little description of the kinds of skills and experience Iām looking for - so I can create some buzz about this. I wonder if some of you could list for me the kinds of skill sets I should be looking for?

Hi Theresa,
The short description of what youāre looking for is a āfull-stack Ruby on Rails developerā. That means that they would understand a variety of skills involved in both developing the application and managing a server.
For slightly more technical detail, hereās a list of the core bits of technology OFN uses:
- Ruby on Rails
- AngularJS (for front-end Javascript)
- Ansible (for provisioning and managing the server)
Hope that helps!
