Volunteer Hub is a volunteer coordination system that allows organizations to create projects and opportunities that people can then browse and select to volunteer for the organizations.
Organizations create a profile and can add large projects as well as individual volunteering opportunities. Users can then search through available tasks and can select and assign themselves to tasks that they are qualified for.
If an organization has a task that requires training or acceptance of the volunteer's application, the volunteer can easily make a request to the opportunity and an employee of the organization can approve or deny their request.
The website and Android application work together to access the same database.

To get the project running locally, first you have to install:
- Vagrant
- Virtualbox
- Ansible
A google search should provide instructions for those on your operating system. The trickest to find might be ansible, which may have be installed as a python module using easy_install or pip.
Once you've got those, simply type:
$ vagrant up
In the project's home directory. The ansible provisioner goes about it's business bootstrapping an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS virtual machine for the project.
You may then edit code directly on your computer in the project home directory. But to see changes reflected on the virtual machine you will have to:
$ vagrant ssh
$ sudo restart volunteerhub_Dev
You could also "reprovision" the virutalbox like so:
$ vagrant provision
Because ansible is indempodent, nothing will be changed but what needs to be changed and the application will be restarted.
