Hallo Members, So, the RapidFTR <http://rapidftr.com/> Code Jam is going ahead tomorrow 29th August 2012 at the Outbox Hub <http://www.outbox.co.ug>. RapidFTR has held successful regular Codejams all around the world.
Following a successful info-session<http://outbox-thoughtworks.eventbrite.com/> last week, the RapidFTR team is inviting volunteers from the local software developer community to come and help take this to the finishing line and get it deployed in the real field. RapidFTR is a versatile open-source mobile phone application and data storage system that helps humanitarian workers collect, sort and share information about unaccompanied and separated children so they can be registered for care services and reunited with their families. RapidFTR is specifically designed to streamline and speed up Family Tracing and Reunification (FTR) efforts both in the immediate aftermath of a crisis and during ongoing recovery efforts. RapidFTR is an open source volunteer project under active development by UNICEF for use during emergencies around the world. Please bring your laptop to make your hands dirty with some code. The first session will focus on Ruby on Rails and couple of more sessions focusing on introducing the technology stack. For those passionate and have some experience with software development but do not know any Ruby On Rails, come along too - light snacks will be available to get loaded with food too.
