Pimp My Cause

Pimp My Cause connects marketers, researchers, and innovators who wish to volunteer to good causes in need of innovative solutions. The organisation has successfully matchmade over 1,300 charities and volunteers since its inception in 2011.

WHFNP volunteers are tackling a website rebuild project for this charity to modernise the technology stack and improve the site's user experience. Using Python, Django and Heroku the end goal is to leave Pimp My Cause with a slick new website that is robust, sustainable, and capable of supporting the growth in its membership expected over the next few years.

We Meet Django App

This is volunteer idea to create a web app that will display and allow searching of curated cafes places that are team friendly to go and spend some time hacking together on a project.

The user can come to the website and search bases on London postcode/locations to find a curated list of cafes matching that criteria. The cafes should be shown on a map as well. Each cafe will be handpicked and “features” ranked like wifi signal, how great is the coffee/food and space etc.

Erehwon

Erehwon is an on-going project that explores the design and development of a prototype on-line collaborative platform as a tool for connecting people involved in socio-political interventions, building communities of interest, and enabling and empowering civic engagement in socio-political activities in public spaces. Initially conceived as a tool for mapping socio-political performative projects in Europe and beyond, it became an investigation on the design of cartography-based online tools that provide efficient and usable ways to share and exchange methods, values and practices, beyond spatial territories and physical borders.

The project was created in Django and is looking for volunteers to help finish it off.
