Tena koutou

Welcome and thank you for registering your interest in the upcoming Voluntari.ly hackfest on May 25th & 26th. This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to such a valuable cause, which will give our STEAM teachers the support they need to empower the youth of today with amazing learning experiences. Not to mention, you'll have an enjoyable weekend filled with opportunities to learn, network, design, code and contribute to a live codebase!

Key info:

When: from 08.30am, Saturday & Sunday May 25th & 26th. Coffee, tea, lunch and snacks provided. A (rough) programme is below.

Where: Unleash Space, the University of Auckland. 20 Symonds Street, Auckland 1010. https://goo.gl/maps/Gk43zv9LHSUdhANr7

Getting there: Extensive public transport services are available to the University from all over Auckland. Parking is also available at the University's Owen Glenn building, which is right next to the Engineering building hosting the Unleash space: https://goo.gl/maps/bMaeenc7am7Ra5Fa9. Once you get to the Engineering building, go in the main entrance (with a suspended metal disc over the steps) and immediately turn left. That's the Unleash Space. Additional signage will be available on the day.

What to bring: Laptop, power cable, phone charger, yourself. There's still room for each of you to bring along a friend too - but if they could sign up at Eventbrite first, that would be fantastic: https://www.eventbrite.co.nz/e/hackfest-for-voluntarily-industry-in-the-classroom-tickets-59926995256

Goals

Our overall goal for the weekend is to make it possible for someone to post a request on the site and get a list of interested volunteers.

To do that we have a lot of smaller tasks to complete:

Complete Volunteer workflow
- my profile page
- requests I'm following
- request state changes
Complete Teacher workflow
- Rich Text Editor Component
- Interested volunteer list
- Teacher/volunteer communications & Email Notifications
Tagging - people have skills, opportunities have needs, people attributes like gender.
Uploading resources
- server api to receive images and files
- client control to drop in images and files.
Server side
- security on api. e.g admin roles
- extra api to support workflows.
- mongo stuff
