Heyy all, you amazing hack heros!
I’m Kirsty; Assistant Psychologist by day job but avid do-gooder/volunteer obsessive by nature! I’ll be along for some of Saturday and Sunday (either side of prior volunteering committments) to do some Scrum Mastering (work flow and team fun!) and I’d love to start populating the map, with some resource hunting. Also keen to chip in with some user experience testing, as I’m not at all techhie!
See you all at the weekend, yay!
Hi Folks I’m Dougie from Cumbernauld outside Glasgow Scotland.
I’m an IT bod and up for helping if possible. Having had experience of being of no fixed abode I understand what it’s like , how much it sucks and how people fall off the radar leaving those who very often are vulnerable without the right care.
While being there in person is not possible the internet allows me to do quite a fair bit from my living room ;0)
Peace , Love and Light

Hello I’m Farah and I’m an artist and art teacher. I’m here to see what I can offer. I want to do an art project with the homeless in London at some point as I was in Kensington last year and made friends with a few homeless people and saw a great need for them to have someone to talk to and a place to express themselves and socialise.
I did a lovely meditation course with Focallocal and that’s how I got involved in the artwork here.
It’s nice to be part of a supportive community with common aims and that works to change our world for the better. 
Hi, guys, my name is Jon, and I’m here to contribute in any way possible. I have varying levels of expertise concerning HTML, CSS, Ruby on Rails, project management, video editing, testing, researching. Hope I can be of assistance on the day 
Hiii Yall
I am SaNina (Sara + Nina or Mizuki) and I currently work as an IT Support Manager for an IT Company in London
That’s my day job… By night and weekends and every time I can, I do Photography. Mostly into portraits and Street Photography and I am looking to do some projects this year. One of them is actually related to Homeless people. I follow the Tao and the Natural ways… I do meditation and Yoga on a daily basis.
I live near Forest Hill at the moment, but it’s quite a cool place
I’ve participated in the Eyes contact experiment last year, and I’ve got a message for you. And time allowing, I hope I can participate in other projects. Sometimes I get caught with work, but I guess that is what it is for now.
Living the Present Moment, and spreading the love and positive vibes <3
See you soon

Hi all! I’m Jes. 20+ year veteran of tech. Currently working as Chief Technology Officer for a start up based in Detroit, as well as consulting non-profits (and whatever else I can get into). My “superpowers” include strategy, product development, software engineering, and UI/UX. I happened to come across the post on a remote focused hub and instantly knew I needed to reach out.

Hi all,
I’m Calum from the Scottish Highlands. I’m here to lend a hand with entry of data onto the brighter tomorrow Map. I’m going to start with the information from http://www.thepavement.org.uk/services.php?facility=&service=5&city=24 and move on from there to help increase the amount of info we’ve got on the map.
Hello Heroes!
I’m Kimberly. I am a public servant in New York City, where I am part of a city initiative that helps homeless families and individuals with findings viable permanent housing within the five boroughs of New York City (which can prove to be quite a challenge these days). I work mostly with the immigrant population, and marginalized groups, such as homeless veterans, low-income families, single mothers, survivors of domestic violence, and HASA (HIV-AIDS Services Administration) beneficiaries. On top of this, I also worked for the immigration services of the New Zealand government, and aided with relief efforts for Supertyphoon Haiyan in 2013.
I am excited to do more good work here. I will do my best to contribute as much as I can to this initiative!
Hi! My name is Greg and I live in York. I am mainly a java server developer but I like to do a bit of JavaScript too.
welcome @GregR you’ll probably be most interested in the Meteor Maps thread where we are building the Brighter Tomorrow Map and Gathering Map (identical codebase with different text)
its build in Meteor, and i’m sure the more experienced developers than me will be happy to get you started: http://discuss.focallocal.org/t/meteor-maps
Hi my name’s Efrain Colmenares, I seen your post at www.weworkmeteor.com so I think this project it’s very interesting. I wanted to tell you that I’m interested to collaborate in the project, I’m meteor developer with Blaze, node and php as well,
Cheers
Hi @efraxpc! i’ve built these forums but we haven’t really got any of the team using the right now. i think we need to wrap the website in an app and set up push notifications to get all of our community to be active on here. atm, most of our communication is over facebook, but i’d love to move away.
if thats a task you’d like to have a go at let me know.
welcome to the community
