The Metta Center for Nonviolence is looking for a programmer who want to be a part of a free open source software app project
What the app does
The app will be called the Daily Metta App, it will present reflections on wisdom teachings and is based on the existing Daily Metta articles:
Daily Metta is a daily reflection on the strategic and spiritual insights of Mahatma Gandhi (and in the future other wisdom teachers) in thought, word and deed. As Gandhi called his life an “experiment in truth,” we include an experiment in nonviolence to accompany each Daily Metta
We are currently in the early phases of the project, working on the design and tech architecture. For more information about the project status please see our Github wiki main page: https://github.com/MettaCenter/DailyMettaApp/wiki
Websites
The organization behind the app is the Metta Center for Nonviolence: http://mettacenter.org/
Right now we are working with Android (Java) but we are hoping to create an iOS version in the future and we lack people with this background so if you like to help out with this you are very welcome
Some of the people already involved

I am a tester and programmer, with a small amount of experience of web development from the Empathy App project and some experience of Android from the KindMind and Remember projects. My educational background is in computer science/engineering. I also have some background in the peace movement and have a website here: http://ihavearrived.org/
